First Layer flow rate

#1 · 2022-11-28, 19:44

Hello everyone I am new at CraftWare Pro so i have a lot of questions, but for now i just want to ask the following.
How can i override filament flow rate for first layer. For example, for the first layer i would like to increase flow rate of the filament to 115 % of the current filament flow. How can i do that ?
Thank you

Hi Aleš,

You can increase the first layer flow rate by increasing its "Fill Density" by 15%.

This will over-extrude the first layer, which could be a problem. It shows that your bed is calibrated a bit lower than optimal. It is a better practice to have a thicker first layer and a properly calibrated bed. It will be more robust against the bed's flaws. You can force a first layer thickness that is outside the basic adaptive layer thickness range:

If you want to compensate for the filament flow, there is a general "flow rate adjustment" among the filament properties.

Best Regards,

András
