Check if firmware retraction is active?

Mugga

Hey guys,
I'm trying to move from s3d to slic3r. In s3d I got firmware retractions working without any problems. With slic3r I'm not quite sure if its working. For testing I activated z-hop, but it doesnt seem to work with slic3r. I just checked "use firmware retraction" in the printer settings.

Is there anyway I can check if retraction and z-hop is working?

Setting Slic3r to use firmware retraction means that it will replace its retraction and unretraction moves with G10/G11 commands.

Retraction settings are then defined with M207

If you send M207 without any parameters in the console, it will echo back the currently configured settings if you have set them at some point.

You might find this handy, especially if you have a PanelDue. https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/5993/firmware-retraction-tuning-with-macros

Thx for the clarification. Like I said, I already got it working in S3D.
These are the settings I'm currently using:
M207 S4.5 R-0.05 F4800 T1800 Z0.20

But now it also works with Slic3r. Just used the newest beta version of Slic3r PE instead of the stable release.
