Flow

Flow is a slicer setting that controls the rate at which filament is extruded from the 3D printer's nozzle. It is expressed as a percentage of the calculated extrusion rate and allows for fine-tuning of the material flow to ensure dimensional accuracy and proper layer adhesion.

Recommended values: It is recommended to start with the default flow rate of 100% and adjust in small increments if necessary. Calibration tests, such as printing a single-wall cube, can help determine the optimal flow rate for specific materials and printers.
