medium📝 Analysis Q13 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Analyze retraction distance and speed values
4mm distance and 40mm/s speed are moderate to high settings that pull filament back quickly.Step 2: Effect on stringing and extrusion
This reduces stringing but may cause slight under-extrusion if too much filament is pulled back.Final Answer:
Reduced stringing with possible slight under-extrusion -> Option BQuick Check:
Moderate retraction reduces stringing but watch extrusion [OK]
Quick Trick: Moderate retraction reduces stringing but may under-extrude [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Assuming slow retraction causes stringing
- Thinking no change occurs with these settings
- Believing blobs form from retraction
