Filament retract during "Lift Head" for "Minimum Layer Time" in Cooling

· Filament retract during "Lift Head" for "Minimum Layer Time" in Cooling
In 5.0 and 5.1 you get something like this:
G1 F1500 X106.692 Y105.679 E230.0867 ;> Last extrusion
G0 F9000 X106.692 Y106.2
;MESH:NONMESH
G0 F600 X106.692 Y106.2 Z1.04
G0 F9000 X105.87 Y105.87
G0 X105.6 Y105.6
;Small layer, adding delay
G1 F2100 E225.0867 ; > Retract 5.0 if there was no retraction since last extrusion
G0 F9000 X105.6 Y105.6 Z4.04
G0 X119.742 Y119.742
G4 P48796 ; > dwell is dependent on Actual Layer Time, Min Layer time, and Min Speed.
There were a couple of instances in the gcode where there was no retraction within the "Small layer, adding delay" section. In all of those cases there was a retraction directly after the last extrusion and so a second retraction wasn't desired.
If you open the gcode file in a text editor and search for "G4" you will see the delay sections. If there is no retraction within the little section then look above for the last extrusion. There should be a retraction right after it.
If your "Max Combing Distance with no Retract" is too high, or if the "Retraction Minimum Travel" is too high then maybe there wouldn't be a retraction(?)

Here comes Cura 5.9 and in this stable release we have lots of material and printer profiles for UltiMaker printers, including the newly released Sketch Sprint. Additionally, scarf seams have been introduced alongside even more print settings and improvements. Check out the rest of this article to find out the details on all of that and more
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
