Flow rate

Calibrating the flow rate involves a two-step process.

Steps

1. Select the printer, filament, and process you would like to use for the test.
2. Select Pass 1 in the Calibration menu
3. A new project consisting of nine blocks will be created, each with a different flow rate modifier. Slice and print the project.
4. Examine the blocks and determine which one has the smoothest top surface.  
5. Update the flow ratio in the filament settings using the following equation: FlowRatio_old*(100 + modifier)/100. If your previous flow ratio was 0.98 and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of +5, the new value should be calculated as follows: 0.98x(100+5)/100 = 1.029.** Remember** to save the filament profile.
6. Perform the Pass 2 calibration. This process is similar to Pass 1, but a new project with ten blocks will be generated. The flow rate modifiers for this project will range from -9 to 0.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5. In this case, if your previous flow ratio was 1.029 and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of -6, the new value should be calculated as follows: 1.029x(100-6)/100 = 0.96726. ** Remember ** to save the filament profile.
