Retraction distance error in prusaslicer/orcaslicer

Maybe this has been addressed already but I can’t seem to find the solution.

Reduce the retraction maybe? :upside_down_face:

Simply reducing retraction is not the answer. Some of the start gcodes for the J1 in those slicers are retracting to much as seen below. Change that to E-1 wherever that pops up in the starting code to fix it for myself.

Starting from v1.4 SMFix has already addressed this issue and works well with PrusaSlicer/OrcaSlicer for gcode file repairs.
However, I suggest using sm2up, as it does not require any modifications to the post-processing script of your prints. Simply set your physical printer to OctoPrint mode.

I have the same issue, same screenshot on the console.
I’m using CURA and retraction distance is set to 2 mm, by default it was 6 mm. Furthermore, I knew of this issue before slicing, so I have put 2 mm. But I still see the message on the console.

The only thing that look like retraction is this at the end:
;— End G-code Begin —
M104 S0
M140 S0
G92 E0
G1 E-2 F3000 ;Retract the filament
G92 E0
G28 Z
G28 X0 Y0
M84
;— End G-code End —

And this in the start:
;— Start G-code End —

G92 E0
G92 E0
G1 F1500 E-2

Any ideas ?

I am not the most familiar with Cura. But another setting that would cause the error for me was the retraction amount on tool change. Even if it was a single extruder print. Looks like in Cura that is called “Nozzle switch retraction distance”. Perhaps checking that could help. I don’t have the J1 setup in Cura to see what that setting is currently myself.

I have tried this in CURA:

Same issue, the Artisan complain:

I will open a case with Snapmaker (147473)
