Describe your issue:
Have a look at VID_20240604_c.zip (359.7 KB). It shows the filament going back and forth while my printer is printing the bottom of a cube, this part:
The corresponding part of the GCode looks like this:
G0 F12000 X6.853 Y-8.419
G1 F3600 X8.419 Y-6.853 E38.88573
G0 F12000 X8.419 Y-6.288
G1 F3600 X6.288 Y-8.419 E38.98596

G0 F12000 X8.419 Y-5.156
G1 F3600 X5.156 Y-8.419 E39.2663
For what it’s worth I do have firmware_retraction
enabled:
[firmware_retraction]
retract_length: 2.6
retract_speed: 60
unretract_extra_length: 0
unretract_speed: 60
My question is, why is the filament going backwards during this part of the print? There are no G10/G11 commands and the E value is steadily increasing. What’s going on here?
The GCode viewer in fluidd also shows retractions, but strangely only on the first layer:
