These commands allow you to utilise the +firmware retraction feature available in many slicers, to reduce +stringing during non-extrusion moves from one part of the print to +another. Appropriately configuring pressure advance reduces the length +of retraction required. + - `SET_RETRACTION [RETRACT_LENGTH=<mm>] [RETRACT_SPEED=<mm/s>] + [UNRETRACT_EXTRA_LENGTH=<mm>] [UNRETRACT_SPEED=<mm/s>] [Z_HOP=<mm>]`: + Adjust the parameters used by firmware retraction. RETRACT_LENGTH + determines the length of filament to retract and unretract. The + speed of retraction is adjusted via RETRACT_SPEED, and is typically + set relatively high. The speed of unretraction is adjusted via + UNRETRACT_SPEED, and is not particularly critical, although often + lower than RETRACT_SPEED. In some cases it is useful to add a small + amount of additional length on unretraction, and this is set via + UNRETRACT_EXTRA_LENGTH. It is possible to lift the Z axis by a small + amount when in retracted state by setting Z_HOP, although this is + more commonly used for printers where fast Z movements are supported, + such as delta printers. SET_RETRACTION is commonly set as part of + slicer per-filament configuration, as different filaments require + different parameter settings. + - `GET_RETRACTION`: Queries the current parameters used by firmware + retraction and displays them on the terminal. + - `G10`: Retracts the extruder using the currently configured + parameters. + - `G11`: Unretracts the extruder using the currently configured + parameters. |
