Flow Rate Surface Check/Test, Check 6 Flow Rates per print

thingiverse

***UPDATE 1*** --> Tiles now bigger (20mm² instead of 10mm²) and steps raised to 1mm ea. step. -----------======================----------- I had the problem that the surface of my prints was sometimes not really plane. There was a little bit of overextrusion or small holes between infill and walls because of underextrusion. So I did this test thing to check the change in surface quality of your print while choosing different Flow rates in CURA or any other program. In Cura you can change the Flow Rates in the "Post Processing Script". Just choose "ChangeAtZ 5.1.1." and start to "Change Flow Rate" for the 2nd step first time after 3mm. 3rd: 4mm 4th: 5mm 5th: 6mm 6th: 7mm Each of the steps is 20mm x 20mm squared. Measurements are 120 x 20 x 7mm. Depth of the number stamps is 0.4mm. Material is about 10g. Printing time with 40mm/s is about 46 minutes or with 60mm/s about 36 minutes. I recommend ***not to use semi-transparent Filament*** for this test, because it is hard to see the connections between the lines. You can see it in the pictures with my white ERYONE PETG. I also uploaded the Fusion360 file, if you want to change the measurements. Hope it helps for you! Would be nice if you post a MAKE of your print!
