Description
Default printer profile for Elegoo Neptune 4 sets inexplicable retraction length of 5mm, which way too much for
machine with direct extruder. It causes fusible filament like PLA slip between gears during deretractions, which leads to significant defects in model.
I copied profile settings from Neptune 4 Pro, because its settings have been fixed long time ago and both printers have exactly the same extruder. Also it is often recommended online to use Np4Pro profile for regular Neptune 4.
