All,
Is there any documentation that I can follow that will allow me to optimize my settings for each type of filament?
The speed settings are pretty clear, but I have a poor understanding of how to set the proper amount of retraction, when to use Coast, Wipe, and ZHop along with how to properly tune those settings.
I'm no professional, but I would like my prints to look as good as possible.

I'm currently working on a write-up for the black eSun PETG, (which I think has been one of the more challenging filaments), and I'll post it when i have my notes cut back to a single novel.
If that doesn't cause everyone to shoot me, I can do a quickie for PLA too, but the S3D settings are a pretty good starting point for those - all you really need to do to get great results with PLA is measure your filament diameter and run the extrusion calibration at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1964 and you're good to go.
It really is easy to get great results with this machine.
