whats your retraction set to?

#

(I think its called retraction distance)

graceful adder Sep 27, 2022, 8:27 AM

#

8mm at 25mm/s

graceful adder Sep 29, 2022, 6:29 AM

#

thats good enough right

bleak notch Sep 29, 2022, 6:33 AM

#

its different for every plastic

#

#

unless you have dirrect drive

graceful adder Sep 29, 2022, 9:55 AM

#

whats that

#

8mm at 25/s is alot.

#

if you have calibrated your e-steps. which is super important. you need to calibrate the flow of the filament itself.
