Retraction Test (self.3dprinting)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by JoShmoe to c/3dprinting
 

I read through the Orca Slicer manual on github, but I don't understand how the retraction test works. I have no idea how I'm suppose to distinguish the results. Would anyone like to explain in layman's terms what it is I'm looking for?

Maybe you don't need to 'fix' your retraction settings?

If it looks good enough, why bother?

This must be why I never like the good guys!

I'm currently trying to solve some seam artifacts. I assumed retraction has something to do with it.
