Thanks a lot, guys! This is what I was looking for. For the moment I will go with the following addition to my ending script:
G1 F1800 E-2 ; retract filament

No retract at end of print
I use Simplify3D with a Flashforge Creator 3. The slicer does not seem to insert a filament retract at the end of the print.

Remaining print time on Flashforge Creator 3 is incorrect
