Retraction on start of print way to high?
-
So I am using Simplify3D setting retraction distance to 1mm speed 125mm (I've heard mixed results between fast and slow, tried them all), using a Titan Areo Extruder. The first layer goes down well, once it's starts...
We have the initial nozzle wipe as part of the gcode but then when it finishes the wipe it retracts a crazy amount so when it goes to start the print it takes ages before it starts printing. any ideas?
Config and gcode posted! Thanks in advanced

Looking at the gCode it's caused by
G1 E-1.0000 F7500
But I can't see why simplify3d is setting it like this, I did have the ender3 profile, but customised the retraction to 1.00mm and 125mm/s

I've got it working fine with Cura... I'll just ditch simplify3d for now.

@tonyp
Its the fault of your own start.gcode
I will mark the critical lines with "<<<<<<<"- G28 ; home all axes
G1 X5 Y10 Z0.2 F3000 ; get ready to prime
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance ..... <<<<<<<
G1 X160 E15 F600 ; prime nozzle ..... <<<<<<<
G1 X180 F5000 ; quick wipe
; process Process1
; layer 1, Z = 0.070

You reset the extrusion distance to early. After your reset you extrude 15mm of filament, then S3D starts the print naturally with a retraction to move to the start position of your print, which is -1.00mm, so you are retracting a massive 16mm at the beginning.
Simplify3D is set to absolute extrusion per default, so you should reset your extrusion length before the print moves start.The solution is to move the line
- G92 E0 ; reset extrusion distance
to the end of your start.gcode or use relative extrusion. You are using absolute extrusion at the moment.
- G28 ; home all axes

use relative extrusion

This demonstrates well why absolute extruder coordinates should not be used in 3D printing. This problem (and others that are often reported) would not have happened if relative extruder coordinates were standard.
