# Minimum Retraction Travel This setting prevents the material from retracting for very short travel moves. During those travel moves there is very little time for the material to ooze out of the nozzle anyway, so retracting would do more harm than good. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
