Retraction Tuning
What is the process to do retraction tuning with RatOS?
I've tried just doing a SuperSlicer Retraction Tuning print, but it seemingly didn't change along the height (print was perfect). I then went into my printer.cfg and commented out the "firmware_retraction" section altogether, no difference in the printing. Noticed the "Retract Length" in Mainsail shows 0.5... so I manually tried changing it while the print progressed with no results (you'd think something would change, right?).
Now I just started digging around to find out where that 0.5 came from and found that the includes for the hotend (Rapido) and the extruder (Orbiter-1004) both have settings under the "firmware_retraction" group. As far as I can tell, there is no way for me to turn off those firmware retraction settings once they're set by the profile.
So.... how do I get around this to do a test print with slicer retractions that vary?
