Retract G-code Instruction for Mendel90
January 16, 2014 02:49PM
Hi!
I am developing a software for a University Project similar to PronterFace. I need some help because I can´t do "Retract" with my printer to avoid the drooling, the printer doesn´t stop extruding material in all the process.

I try with M227, M101 and M103 (reprap Wiki) and M207 and M209 from Marlin documentation.
I have a Mendel90 with Marlin 1.0.0 RC.

Thank you.

Most of us use Slicer based retraction (reverese extruding commands) but if You want to use Firmware retraction You should have to uncomment the below define in Configuration_adv.h and use the below commands. (not using it myself though)


// Firmware based and LCD controled retract
// M207 and M208 can be used to define parameters for the retraction.
// The retraction can be called by the slicer using G10 and G11
// until then, intended retractions can be detected by moves that only extrude and the direction.
// the moves are than replaced by the firmware controlled ones.

// #define FWRETRACT //ONLY PARTIALLY TESTED
#define MIN_RETRACT 0.1 //minimum extruded mm to accept a automatic gcode retraction attempt

Oh sorry! I forgot to answer you. I finally used manual retraction and it works perfectly. I have almost finished my project.
Thank you so much.
