Firmware Retraction and S3D's nozzle wipe

Topher

Looking for any suggestions that might allow me to use firmware retraction but also, use "wipe" in S3D. I currently use REPLACE function to replace the G1 E4.000 F6000 and G1 E-4.000 F6000 S3D outputs for retraction moves. Here is a little snippet of code from S3D during a wipe:
note: G110 and G111 are my own custom scripts for FW retraction.

Well wipe is shown as being separate from retraction.

And there is a user code hook into "retraction".

I gather that won't work for you?

@fcwilt there is a setting on the Gcode tab: "include M101/M102/M103". These codes directly control retraction, however, they are completely ignored by S3D for wipe moves. S3D will only retract at the end of the move and not before, which should be controlled by the set wipe amount.

I don't see where RRF understands M101/M102/M103.

And the S3D wipe move needs the setting on the Advance tab regarding retraction during wiping if you want to include retraction.

@fcwilt I have "Retract during wipe" turned on. Using a post-processor script to convert the M101 and M102 commands to G110 and G111 works, but ignores retractions during a wipe. At the first sign of a negative E value, I need to call G110 once in the previous line.
