Compatibility pellet extrudors

[Pim 1]

is Cura compatible if I were to use a pellet extrudor instead of the average FDM printer?

About 3 years ago there was a poster here who built a big pellet machine and he was using Cura.  I tried to message him a while ago and didn't get a response.  This is the post.

Theoretically it's possible, but there are several messages here from users who are experiencing problems with pellet extruders.  The main difference on these machines is that it's not possible to manage wire retract to avoid oozing.

 

So the question is often how to manage this non-retract. I've seen several requests about the possibility of managing G0, with a systematic Z hop or different speeds or combine with Zhop. It's up to you to see what you need to use this type of printer.
