Ooze shield retraction

[downeym]

I am trying to use the ooze shield on a dual extrusion print, but I am running into issues with retraction. I have my retraction settings working well for each extruder and I dont see any ooze when I print parts using single extrusion mode, but when I print dual extrusion parts, I get a lot of ooze between the prime pillar and ooze shield movements. I dont think that the slicer is retracting at all when printing either of these objects. the part looks great, but I get ooze between the ooze shield and the part, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Is there a setting I am overlooking to enable the standard retraction settings when printing the ooze shield and prime pillar, or is this a bug that hasnt been fixed yet?

It already retracts when moving from the ooze shield to the object. Just look at the gcode. It's already doing it correctly.

But it's very possible your retraction settings aren't high enough, so you are still getting stringing. There's plenty of retraction test prints you can do to verify this.

[downeym]

that is not the case. here is the G-Code it generated for the prime pillar. As you can see, there is no retraction between the pillar and the ooze shield, even though it is set for 6.5mm retraction, which I can see when it is printing the actual object.

There are also no retraction commands happening between different sections of the ooze shield, even though the extruder is moving across the part. This results in a ugly string of ooze across the part.

There is clearly a bug unless there is a setting I am not seeing for retraction specifically for the pillar and shield.

[CompoundCarl]

It's worked with every part I've sliced and tested, so it's probably one of your settings that is preventing retraction. Why don't you post your factory file so that others can take a look. The gcode file isn't all that helpful.

[downeym]

I am attaching the factory file.

thanks

[downeym]

As you can see from the factory file, the retraction was set to 6.5mm and the generated gcode is doing this retraction on the part itself, but there is no retraction when printing the ooze shield and prime pillar, which defeats the entire point of the shield.

Anyone else seeing this bug?

[horst.w]

Are you sure that is what you want to print?

... only deactivate the oozeshield and the pillar for better seeing.
I think it needs a toolhead-offset.

I don't know why, but there is a offset for T1 set to -26,80. The 2 parts are coming together when the offset for T0 and T1 are zero and they are centered.
Additional the model has non-magnifold edges

The offset is just in the display due to the 2 heads. The part prints correctly, with the exception of the oozing problem.

[horst.w]

... that is what I don't understand. The model is shown correctly in the setting-window, but in the print-preview it is deformed. Very strange!

H.

[downeym]

its not deformed,. it is only reflecting the offset between the two nozzles of 26.8mm
