    Make sure that you print SLOW! Less than 30mm/s unless you have good experience. As for specific settings not sure.

    Retraction should be very little, or none (depends on you using NinjaFlex versus SemiFlex)
    Temperature as stated for your filament.
    Default printing speed is enough.

    Not in mattercontrol, sorry. It is a slicer setting so in whichever slicer you use you should find a similar setting.
