Please do implement a firmware retraction in S3D. I'm using RepRapFirmware (dc42 fork) on my Delta that allows me to configure firmware retraction alongside Z-hop feature. At the moment I am post-processing generated g-code and replacing 'G1 E' commands with G10/G11. I have to move around some generated lines in g-code from - to
What happens when z-hop is enabled in firmware is that the head ends up lower than expected.
G10 retract will move the head up by 0.5mm
then the generated code moves the head to absolute 0.2mm
then unretract lowers the head by -0.5mm resulting in -0.3mm z position.

What happens if you put the commands you want in the retraction script? I would think there's a way to do what you want using that script

You have a retraction script but not a unretraction script. and if you change the filament and the retraction parameters changes you can fine-tune the retraction without re-slicing the model

You would just do the retract, move, and then prime all within the retraction script. As long as you can get S3D not to include it's own retraction commands, then it would work
