I think it would be worth going through a tuning cycle to compare to your legacy values.

@Phaedrux

This did it for me... Minimum time of 20 sec was too long for my part. Thanks again!

@Rob That sounds like a tuning issue - i.e. the pause you are witnessing is because the extruder is retracting then un-retracting. On layer change, you have the additional pause due to the bed moving. i.e. retract - move bed - unretract. A few things you can try. If you have Z hop while retracting, disable it. Increase the maximum extruder speed and acceleration settings. Increase the retraction speed (but don't go too high). Decrease the retraction distance but look out for "stringing". Disable retraction in the slicer for small moves - that might help the pause between inner out out perimeters. Use pressure advance if you are not already doing so. That may allow you to use less retraction. Bizarrely, as it sounds, try more retraction. It may increase the "pause time" but might reduce the "ooze" during said pause. Use a fast speed for non print moves. Increase the Z speed and acceleration if possible. Try printing at a lower temperature - that too may educe the amount of "ooze".

This thread was useful when debugging some issues I was having using this exact pendant with the Arduino Nano as the microcontroller. I'm not making use of the PanelDue passthrough, just the pendant straight to a Duet3 6XD. For some reason when using the resistors rather than a level shifter on TX to bring it down to 3.3V, I was having issues with awful noise between the 6K8 resistor and the Duet 3, both when transmitting anything on TX and when just sitting idle at 5V. The resistor was on the pendant side of the long cable, and the noise was present on both the Duet and pendant sides. I spent a while figuring out what I'd done wrong but wound up using a level shifter (can't find a receipt but it looks the same as the 4 channel variant here) on the Duet side instead and that worked.

Perhaps it was due to me leaving the Nano unmodified, but my interpretation of the instructions here was that that was only necessary when using the PanelDue passthrough.
