There is one feature that I really like in CURA where you can increase the flow rate on the first layer to get a better "smoosh" and a smoother surface. S3D only allows you to change the line width, that REALLY isn't the same thing. There are a variety of hidden scripting changes that you can make at various points in an S3D print.

Has anyone found a way to increase the first layer flow rate? Or, perhaps even better, arbitrarily change the flow rate at any layer?

be well,

For the first layer specifically you can use the Global G-Code Offset area's Z offset to of the G-Code tab to bring the nozzle closer to the bed without altering the extrusion amount. This will result in the "smoosh" you're after.

As for individual layers, it may be a bit tedious to setup but you can create different processes for different vertical regions where you want to change any number of settings. https://www.simplify3d.com/support/arti ... f-a-model/
