retraction during wipe

Hi guys,

which retraction speed and distance is used at the retraction during wipe option. i love that feature but my printer is doing super long retractions which aren't good for all metal hotends.

Re: retraction during wipe

I'm pretty sure it uses the retraction distance and speed that you set on the Extruders tab. At least that's what it appears to use for me...

Re: retraction during wipe

I was thinking the same thing but i see a clear difference between my normal retractions (3mm on bowden setup) and the wipe retractions (length unknown but super long which causes jam issue in the heatbreak)

Re: retraction during wipe

Yes you need to go into the gcode tab and choose the relative extrusion distances checkbox. If that is unchecked you will get super long retractions.
