Retraction towers

To determine which retraction setting works best for your 3D printer, simply experiment with different settings and observe how they impact the quality of your prints. Retraction settings are typically measured in millimeters (mm) and are adjusted according to the type of filament being used. A good starting point is often a medium retraction distance, around 5-6 mm. However, this can vary depending on the specific requirements of your print job and the characteristics of your printer's hotend. Some users find that a slightly longer retraction distance helps to prevent stringing, while others prefer a shorter distance for improved detail. To achieve optimal results, it's essential to experiment with different settings and pay attention to how they affect the overall quality of your prints.
