Retraction
Enable retraction: Enable filament retraction
function
Retract the filament when the nozzle is
moving over a non‐ printed
area to avoid dropping and brushed. Details
about the retraction can
be configured in the advanced tab.
‐Retraction speed: Speed at which the
filament is retracted, a higher retraction speed
works better. Commonly used as 80mm/s. A
very high retraction speed can lead to
filament grinding or breaking.
‐Distance: Amount of retraction. Set at 0 for
no retraction at all. A value of 5 seems to
generate good result.
Dual Extrusion
Wipe &prime tower: The wipe‐tower is a
tower printed on every layer when switching
between nozzles.
Tower volume per layer: The amount of
material put in the wipe/prime tower. This is
done in volume because in general you want
to extruder a certain amount of volume to get
the extruder going, independent on the layer
height. This means that with thinner layers,
your tower gets bigger.
Ooze shield: The ooze shield is a line thick
shell around the object which stands a few
mm from the object and catches any oozing
from the unused nozzle in dual‐extrusion.
Dual extrusion overlap: Add a certain amount
of overlapping extrusion on dual‐extrusion
prints. This makes the different colours
filament jointed better. Default 0.1
