    As the tittle states.. I have tried several retraction speeds - between 30mms and 150mms, with the bolt completely off, just about on, or applying slight pressure on the filament. Retraction distance is 1.4mm ..
    The DD kit has worked brilliantly until you try to print something that demands a lot of retractions. issue is more noticeable when using S3D rather than Cura. I'm using Eryone Gold Silk PLA @ 210/50 degrees

    Has anyone else had this issue?
    Many thanks,
    George

    I just suggested to someone else in another post to try printing out

    Slicer : Cura

    Retraction settings that work for me
    Prusament Galaxy Black : 0.35
    Prusament Orange PETG : 0.42

    This should work brilliantly. I run 0.3mm distance at 30mm/s and 0.1mm coasting in S3D. Approaching insane quality, the Hemera after just a few days of playing with it produces way better results than a Bowden Titan that drove me insane for a loooong time.

    I would recommend double-checking your VREF settings, in terms of retraction speed I typically use 30mm/s.
