| Feb 7, 2020 at 7:15 | comment | added | 0scar♦ | I'm in the process of converting to a Volcano hotend to increase the printing speeds for the same nozzle diameter, I'm using 2.85 mm filament (takes longer to heat up than 1.75 mm filament). Maybe it is helpful if you mention your filament diameter? | |

I don't see how you could retract 20 mm of molten filament by pulling it back; I'd think it would just stretch, leaving material at the nozzle happily oozing out all over your print. Retraction would still relieve pressure, and the vacuum pressure from pulling the filament back might back it up a little bit, but I'd be hesitant to use one. I'd love to hear from users with experience with it, though. | |
