Hi all,
I don't see any posts regarding this feature. I am trying to get more speed out of my printer. I am using an E3D Revo hotend and 0.6mm nozzle. I use a 0.4 mm layer height and either a 0.6 or 1.0mm layer Width. I read a post that in vase mode using a 1.0mm layer width was the way to go and I get Perfect prints. no under or over extrusion. Just perfect. I design my vase as a 1mm thick wall in Shapr3D. I have this setting set to 10.6. the specs for my REVO is 14mm/s. Now, it seems like Simplify3D limits the speed to the speed of this setting. Can someone describe this setting in relation to the Extruder Multiplier and whether I should change this value, etc. I did notice that before setting a speed of the extruder to 10.6 and leaving this setting at whatever the default was that I got better speed but I noticed that the filament was dragging, so to speak. Where it was in air and then would settle down onto the layer beneath it. This does not seem like this would work well. I would think that the filament show extrude straight out of the nozzle. So that is why I set the extruder flow rate to 10.6 as I read in a post. The flow Rate of the REVO. I now see I can go as high as 14mm/s. But then my speed will still be limited to 14mm/s or around that value.

Re: Extruder Flow Rate setting in version 5
Hi!
I attached pictures to the post as well as two factory files that I used to get the flow rate right. The stls were taken from orca slicer.
The method I used is documented here:
https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide ... plier.html
and here:
https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer ... #Flow-rate
Simply do the steps and repeat for each process, then do it for the second time.
This got my flow rate for the filament to my liking.
Next, I did this:
https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide ... tml#method using his method as I didn't have a scale for the cnc kitchen way.
Finally, i punched those numbers in this:

And then I ran some actual print tests to see if I could sustain that speed.
Hope that helps.
