The retraction your spool asks for
Retraction pulls the filament back before a travel move so it does not string. The printer has a default; some spools override it. Pick yours to see which applies.
Work it outWhat the presets say
0.8 mm by default. The X1 Carbon profile retracts 0.8 mm at 30 mm/s.
15 spools set their own. PETG Basic, ABS and TPU 95A go to 0.4, PETG Translucent to 0.3.
Wood goes long. SUNLU Wood PLA retracts 4 mm, ASA-Aero 1.5.
Your spool
From BambuStudio 02.08.02.61, its own filament presets for the X1 Carbon with a 0.4 mm nozzle (86 spools, each resolved through its parent presets). Fields: filament_retraction_length (empty = printer default) and the printer retraction_length.
