[title] Calibrate extrusion multiplier
[* 1] Measure all the perimeters of your cube and calculate the average.
[* 1] Calculate your new extrusion multiplier using the formula on the second image. Here is an example:
- [* 1] Your old extrusion multiplier = 0.95 and your average perimeter thickness = 0.43mm.
- [* 1] Your are using a 0.4mm nozzle, so your extrusion width is 0.45mm.
- [* 1] Your new extrusion multiplier = (0.95 · 0.45)/0.43 = 0.994.
-[* 7] Enter the new extrusion multiplier value in the filament settings page of Prusa Slicer
+ [* 1] Your original extrusion multiplier = 1.00 and your average perimeter thickness = 0.441mm.
+ [* 1] Your are using a 0.4mm nozzle, so your target/expected extrusion width is 0.45mm.
+ [* 1] Your new extrusion multiplier = (1.00 · 0.45)/0.441 = 1.02.
+[* 7] Enter the new extrusion multiplier value in the filament settings page of PrusaSlicer.
[* 9] Print the part again to verify the value is correct. Repeat the previous steps if necessary.
-[* 11] ***Tip:*** The extrusion multiplier is generally constant for a whole spool (if you do not change temperature) but the filament diameter will change. Therefore, before slicing a part, measure the filament diameter you are going to use and enter it into Prusa Slicer
