Retraction on extruder switch doesn't work for me
Hi,
I tried setting the length to 2mm in eeprom, but to no effect.
I'm using slic3r and have firmware retraction enabled and minimum travel for retraction set to 0mm. (so always retract)
Retraction works for travel moves, but not when switching extruders on the same layer.
Here is a gcode example:

There is no retraction after swithing extruders with T0 or T1.
Any settings I forgot that could revent retraction?

Comments
I thought switching virtual extruders from T0 to T1 would trigger an extruder switch?
- G10 S<1 = long retract, 0 = short retract = default> retracts filament according to stored setting
- G11 S<1 = long retract, 0 = short retract = default> = Undo retraction according to stored setting
to add retraction where wanted. Even with normal extruders there is no retract on extruder switch on it's own. Slicer always needs to tell that.
I didn't know that.
Slic3r only lets you turn on firmware retraction, but doesn't let you choose between short or long retract.
It does so for non firmware retraction, but doesn't matter much for my case.
As always, thank you for your fast response.
