[Should I update]

What version do you have?  If you are using 15.X then strongly consider sticking with it unless you need some new feature.  If you have 4.0 then the update to 4.1 I believe is pretty painless.  If you have 2.X then definitely upgrade.

 

I am using 3.6 now

Is it best to use the latest version of Cura, or should I keep using an older version until I notice an issue?

In the english version of cura it's "retract" and I don't think you want to mess with that unless you know your printer well.  Each type of printer needs different settings.

 

Does the ender3 have a bowden?  Is the feeder mounted on the head where the hot end is?  Or is the feeder on the other end of a meter long tube?  If the feeder is on the head you want very short retraction - typically 1 or 2mm.

 

The ender3 has a bowden.  I see "Retraction Minimum travel" which I have as .8mm.  Is that the same setting

Many pieces to print out is Ok.  If You have many small pieces it is good idea to increase RETRACK- parameter to 3.0 (default 1.5)

(Remember to greate ggode after chance) This disables the small hair filament hairs between parts.

I did not see the retrack setting.  I am using Cura 3.6.0.  Is it in this version?

Thank you for confirming.

Would there be a problem with my prints if I have too many pieces to print out.  I want to print out a cable chain for my ender 3, it is composed of 15 chain links.  Could I print all 15 links at one time?  I was wondering if there is too many pieces to print they could cool down too much before they get another layer of filament.  Thanks.
