Retraction Test (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by JoShmoe@lemmy.world to c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

I read through the Orca Slicer manual on github, but I don't understand how the retraction test works. I have no idea how I'm suppose to distinguish the results. Would anyone like to explain in layman's terms what it is I'm looking for?

I must have done something wrong because the whole tower looks pretty much the same except for a clear overextrusion around the middle on one side. The rest have really thin barely visible strings that don't go very far.

Maybe you don't need to 'fix' your retraction settings?

If it looks good enough, why bother?

Perfect is the enemy of good.

This must be why I never like the good guys!
