Hi guys.

Maybe a stupid question, but i cant seem to find the settings for retraction in Cura 14.07, can anyone tell me whewre to find of if it even exist anymore?

I need to be able to tell Cura how much to retract and how much extra filament to start with after each jump, i could do that in my Old, old, Cura.

By they way Daid, Cura 14.07 is VERY nice to work with compared to what im used to :-)

Thanks in advance.

    The retractions speed and distance settings are available on the 'Advanced' tab, if you have configured it to generate traditional 'Reprap/Marlin' gcode.

    If Cura is configured for the Ultimaker², then you do not get to edit those settings, as retraction speed and distance are configured on the printer for the Ultimaker², as part of the material settings.

    Reprap volumetric also allows you to still use the firmware retraction (G10 and G11 codes), which allows custom retract amounts set by the firmware itself (different amount of retraction recovery amount, for example).

        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.
