Can change retraction (speed/distance) by console in real time?

peirof

Hi,

I suppose yes ... but clarify it ...

Can you change values, which are set by the slicer when it will generate the gcode?
I would like to adjust the retraction, and be able to see the effects of the parameters in real time, not having to generate a different gcode, every time I want to see the effects of the parameter changes (speed and distance)

Those changes that I make in real time, sending the order through the console ... are they permanent, or can it be the case that the gcode file changes them again? or what I change while I print by a command sent in the console ... it remains whatever the gcode says?

How could I know that?

@peirof If you'd like to adjust retraction in real time, you have to use FW retraction in the slicer.

@cosmowave thx.... And after by console change retraction? Or put in the gcode with slicer?

@peirof normally you can choose FW-Retract in slicer settings. Then the slicer will only insert G10/G11 commands into gcode-file.

@peirof Use M207 to set firmware retract parameters. Then set the slicer to use G10/G11 in the Gcode (M103/M101 if it's Simplify3D). Then you can change M207 on the fly, during printing. Also try changing speed and acceleration of extruder moves, if tuning.
