Retraction Speed

Retraction Speed is the rate at which the filament is pulled back from the nozzle during a retraction move. It is measured in millimeters per second (mm/s) and is crucial for preventing oozing and stringing during non-print moves.

Recommended values: A typical retraction speed ranges from 20 to 50 mm/s. It's best to start with a moderate speed and adjust based on the filament type and printer capabilities.
