So that being said I cannot "uncouple" the extruders from the tool while mixing for the purpose of retraction and would need to use each extruder as a separate tool and thus would change my mind about this setup and may go back to the 4 separate nozzle I had before. @deckingman Thank you for your help so if I confused you with what i was asking.

@deckingman Yes prior to the firmware retraction i did not have this issue

Yes unloading filament I find that at the end of each filament what ever color I used mainly has attached itself and back fed about 30mm. And Yes for normal retractions using g10/g11 that had been set using m207.

RE: Firmware retraction for single tool in multitool setup?
I am using the a M3D Fusion modified to a bowden setup with 4 four bmg extruders and a .5 nozzle running petg at 240. I am unable to get the retractions dialed in using slicer settings and have had a little trouble with the firmware. I am using Prusaslicer for software. I have verified that each extruder is retracting at the same time visually.

Let say I am using CYMK for colors and my print uses Cyan as a main body with some small mixes of Yellow and Black here and there in the print well at the end of the print if i pull the filaments for a material change each material will have about 30mm of Cyan similar to what you we just describing if i ran just one extruder retracting at a time.

Firmware retraction for single tool in multitool setup?
I have a Duet2wifi running in a custom corexy with 4 BMG extruders using firmware retraction in a mixing nozzle setup. I am current using the m207 command to define the g10/g11 however this makes all extruders retract and unretract while print causing a wonderful mess. My question is how would one set this to active tool only?
