Hello!

Recently upgraded to a e3D Titan extruder. It's an impressive little fellow but I'm having some trouble printing off successful 3D Benchies. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good Slic3r profiles settings for the extruder/retraction/speed that I could take a look at?

Which filament are you focussing on?

I get succesful retracts @ 40mm/s with 1mm retract. Acceleration is set to 350 (i think, I'll have to double check). I've used this with most filament (abs, PLA, nGen)

@Origamb: direct extruder or Bowden? I'm asking because anything under 2mm is stringy (let's not talk about PET-G smiling smiley

)

Direct to an E3D V6.

Bowden will obviously use something drastically different, but if they are using Bowden then they should state the length of their bowden otherwise retraction settings of others mean nothing.

Using flying extruder so around 20cm bowden tube,
ABS 1.8mm, 50mm/s 0.3mm z-lift
PLA 2.4mm, 50mm/s, 0.3mm z lift

Can say I've ever seen a string or blob.
