I'll take a wild guess and say you will end up between 5.5 and 6.5.
Besides the retraction distance have you adjusted the speed? Faster isn't always better.
Your printing temperature makes a difference. Cooler will not string as much.
Within Cura's Travel settings are "Retraction Minimum Travel" and "Max Comb Distance with No Retract". Both need to be set to a distance that is shorter than the distance between the towers but greater than "0". That might be why those 4 models look so identical - maybe there weren't any retractions.
If you haven't done so - turn off Z-hops. They can create a string when the head lifts and the nozzle will pull it to the other tower.
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
