Help with retraction !!!

Posted · Help with retraction !!!

Hi.

I just got a Ender 3 and a roll of PLA and i got started printing.

Still haven't figure out if Simplify3D or Cura is better for me, i like that Cura has many settings but i just CANT'S FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONFIGURE THE RETRACTION FOR MY PRINTER IN CURA!

 

In Simplify3D i have set 4.5mm retraction distance and 80mm/s retraction speed and i get PERFECT results on basic retraction test https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2563909/

This is the Gcode from Simplify3D

 

G1 X109.916 Y118.703 E273.06705

G0 F3600 X109.902 Y119.729

;LAYER:38
G1 F4800 E268.56705                         ;RETRACT
G0 F3600 X109.916 Y101.297 Z6.000 ;JUMP
;TYPE:WALL-OUTER
G1 F4800 E273.06705                         ;PUSH

 

On Cura with those settings the results are a disaster.

This is the Gcode from Cura

 

;TYPE:SKIN
G1 F600 X110.143 Y99.866 E59.23949
G1 F4800 E54.73949                         ;RETRACT

G0 X110.631 Y122.057
G0 X110.084 Y122.151
G0 X109.971 Y120.39
;TIME_ELAPSED:223.202764
;LAYER:36
;TYPE:WALL-INNER
;MESH:CE3_Retraction.3mf
G1 F4800 E59.23949                       ;PUSH

 

I know that with different settings like 6mm distance and 25mm/s speed Cura gives much better results but they are not PERFECT.

How can i fix that so Cura outputs the same Gcode as Simplify3D so i won't have stringing ???

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
