How fast can I push retractions?

Trying to tune some sticky wood filament. Large retractions take a while with the default speed. Wondering if  there any coded or practical limits before I start experimenting.

You need to experiment.  You can go as fast as you like but at some point the extruder feed gears will start to slip.  That will depend on the filament, how tight the gears are etc.

Thanks I’ll give it a go. I guess I’ll be able to hear it slipping.
