· Cura 4.6.1 Not generating retractions at all?
Nevermind: Moderator - I figured it out, and you can feel free to remove my post, I can't figure out how. I realized my extruder is in absolute mode, so I don't have movements that are negative, they just go to lower positive values, and I do find places where that occurs.

If you don't mind we'll leave this up in case anyone else has the exact same question.
Note that in cura, in PREVIEW mode make sure moves are visible (checkbox) in "color scheme: line type"and there are 2 shades of blue. Blue moves are non-extruding moves. One shade is for retraction moves. That's a really good way to tell which are which very quickly. The rules for if a retraction happens is complicated so it's good that Cura shows you which are which.

I don't mind at all, just didn't want to clutter things up unnecessarily. If you think it's helpful for it to be here, please leave it up. Thank you, too, for the additional help!

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
