Revo Six end gcode retraction distance?
Hi folks!
I've recently purchased a Revo Six, and would like to facilitate cold nozzle swaps by adding retraction to my end gcode in PrusaSlicer. Before I trial and error this, I wanted to check to see if anyone had already settled on the minimum suitable retraction distance?
I'll have to fiddle with suitable start gcode to make sure the nozzle is fully reloaded at the start of a print...figured I'd double the start line length.

Hi folk! 🙂
I use this code since a few days and it works fine:
G1 E-18 F800 ;retract filament from meltzone - added for REVO SIX
What I ask myself is: what should I do, when I do not change the nozzle? The filament is not in the nozzle and can't be printed in the first seconds. Do we have to change the start code as well? May be G1 E18 F800 ?
Happy printing!

I posted this question to the Slicer forum, but my guess would be this line, thoughts?
G1 E2 F1000 ; de-retract and push ooze
from E2 to E20 ??

I updated my post, I used bobstro's start and end G-code and modified my prime line to reverse the retraction, works like a charm.

I'm using E-10 (so 10mm retraction only) at the end of print with (regular) revo nozzles and it works fine, too for cold swaps later.
