Calibrating the flow rate of your filament is one of the best things you can do for print quality. This is a simple flow rate calibration model that only uses 13 gr of filament. Most of the ones I've found were not very clear or printing a lot of irrelevant test pieces. During my testing I found that 99% of the flow ratios fall between 0.95 and 1.05 and that fine tuning the flow ratio more then 2 digits does not give any significant improvements. The flow ratio is printed on the underside of the test piece to make it easier to make an unbiased decision. I've included 3 print profiles but I would recommend the Archimedean print profile this gives a nice clear result. You can double check with the Monotonic line profile to see if you are happy with the result. Or print both at the same time How to use In the filament profile set the flow ratio to 1 Print the model Check the test pieces for over extrusion. I've circled the areas were you can see the over extrusion on the 0.99 test piece b
