Firmware Retraction Tuning with Macros
-
@kilop M208 sets unretract length in smoothie and Marlin apparently. Good catch.
-
probably there could be also other option to change retraction generated by simplify 3d
in g-code tab tick m101 m102 m103 option
and in post process put this{REPLACE "M101" "G11"}
{REPLACE "M103" "G10"}
{STRIP "M102"}I will check this tomorrow at work
with that option will be easier to just copy and paste script

@phaedrux Can you point me to a thread or an article about how to set up firmware retraction ?
-
@dakingofhearts2003 Well you need to enable it in your slicer and then have a command in your config.g to configure your retraction settings.
-
@phaedrux I understand that part. Understanding those macros and how to alter them is what im looking for ...
-
@dakingofhearts2003 Retraction settings are configured with M207

@phaedrux I am having some serious issues that i don't think the retraction will help but i was going to do the retraction tuning anyway. Am i supposed to enable relative extrusion distances in the slicer ? And where do i start to deal with the issue of parts coming out smaller than they are supposed to. I can get them to print well but not dimensionally accurate...
-
@dakingofhearts2003 Probably best to start a new thread to address your issues.
-
Is there are wipe while retracting function in firmware retraction aswell?
-
@d0minik96 No there is no wipe function. Usually you'd be using pressure advance anyway and wipe/coast is not recommended when using pressure advance.
