Retraction Tower - Custom

Hi All,

 

I have an Ender 5 S1 and my understanding is the best retraction distance is around 0.8 mm and 30 mm/s.  I'm just trying out one of the Auto Towers in the Auto Towers Plugin in Cura.  The Retract Tower 1-6 specifically.  I'm just trying to work out where it's programmed to change the retraction settings at the specific layer?  What I put in Cura is obviously for the entire print, but in the Modify GCode section there are no settings to indicate things change at a specific layer etc.

 

I assume the Gcode is somehow embeded in the plugin for that Auto Tower???

 

I want to try the 0.8 mm at 30 mm/s.  Can anyone suggest a way of modifying one of the towers so that it just tries my settings, and doesn't change them.  I just want to see if my settings work.  Or alternatively, can anyone suggest a model for testing the retraction that i've dialled in is working so that I don't have to design my own.  

 

I just want to find a good test model of my specific settings.

 

Thanks

Geoff

        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.
