✅ - Help dialing in retraction settings with eSUN PLA+ on Sovol SV01 Pro

[steel temple]

Hello, I got eSUN's PLA+ in gray and my retraction settings seem to be crazy

These were printed on Cura 5.4.0 with standard quality but 215C temp and 65C build plate temp (I believe one of the 1-6 towers was 45mm/s and the other was 40)

Done with the Auto Towers extension

This was my temp tower

I haven't calibrated flow yet but have done e steps

The order you should be calibrating things is esteps, flow rate, retraction, and then temp towers.
For retraction you should focus in only retraction distance to start. Print retraction distance towers then set your retraction to whatever comes out best. Then print retraction speed towers with varying retraction speed to figure out the best traction speed. You gotta calibrate settings one at a time

Ok, I'll try flow next

I kept the retraction speeds the same so was testing for distance. Everything was pretty stringy so was confused, but could be from the flow
