After verifying the result with the help of the table below, you have to modify the filament extrusion multiplier in your filament preset (if the -20 is the best, change the multiplier from 1 to 0.8, see the formula below). Don't forget to save it afterwards! You can continue with the 2.5 step if you want a bit more precision.</p> After verifying the result with the help of the table below, you have to modify the filament extrusion multiplier in your filament preset (if the -20 is the best, change the multiplier from 1 to 0.8, see the formula below).

<p>The flow you want to choose is the lowest that does not create gaps in the top surface. Here it seems that the good flow is below +20.

<p>Don't look at the surface quality of the letter, it should be only good at the 0, as it's for this flow we calibrated the bed height. Here, going with +20% flow, i should lower the bed a bit (redoing the bed level calibration).</p> <p>Don't look at the surface quality of the letter, it should be only good at the 0, as it's for this flow we calibrated the bed height.

<p>It's very difficult to tune the flow below the 2% mark, and no filament is consistent enough to warrant it anyway. Filament's that have a guarantee of +-0.03mm has a ~7% variation between the low and high end cross section.</p> <p>It's very difficult to tune the flow below the 2% mark, and no filament is consistent enough to warrant it anyway.
