Could someone please verify a retraction issue for me.

Post by Flateric »

Ok, I notice that when I start cranking up my feed rates in repetier that my retracts do not follow along with an increase as well.

If I am printing at 100% speed (really doesn't matter what speed) and I jump my print speed to say 200 or 300% my print does indeed speed up nicely, but it is filled with big long pauses as the retracts are done at normal 100% speed.

Is this the way it is supposed to be?

You might want to email Roland. He's been pretty responsive to my questions.

I never messed with the feed rate inside repetier before since it was a post-process of the G-code and I'd I hadn't gotten past trying to tweak slicer settings and understanding them well. I'd have to check the G-code which I can't right now, but I was thinking that the feed rate slider issued a M221 command : set extrude factor override percentage, and for absolutely no reason I thought retract/prime commands in g-code were specific codes to force a set movement and speed to the extruder, which in my head would be different from standard extrusion settings/commands and by that uneffected by a extrude factor overide. Maybe I thought that because you set speed limits in kisslicer so I thought that implied different control methods

I just want someone to verify this before I go and log it as a bug or bed behavior

Hey flat, are you hitting the EXT MAX federate? If you have it set at say 60, and slic3r set to retract at 50, then it will stop at 60, it's a rev limiter of sorts in the firmware.

I thought that I might be but I seem to be limited no matter what. I know my extruder can do much higher speeds, I use them when I am feeding new filament in. Perhaps I'll try setting it even higher. I currently have it set at 100, maybe I'll try 500? LOL worth a shot.
