Topic: Move / Retract-filament between objects

When my extruder jumps / moves between objects it leaves strands of plastic since it does not seem to retract efficiently? Or is this a problem with speed or heat?

What do you suggest to try?

Have you tried increasing the retraction amount?

No, not yet since this is the default settings, and I see this as a "last resort"

What's different now from then, is the following :

Extruder Calibration is done
Jigsaw replacement added
gcode fan-controll added

Ok, I solved the problem by adding additional retract from 1 mm to 2 mm.
Strange that I did need to to that though.

Re: Move / Retract-filament between objects

It's normal, and sometimes changes between spools and colors, don't worry about it.
