Thanks to the community, we continue to squeeze more and more out of 3D printing.
In this video, we use Small Area Flow Compensation to do just that. This slicer feature alters the flow rate of short extrusions to eliminate bulging and mess. As I demonstrate, it’s quick and easy to tune with the help of the right model and supporting tool.
Not every 3D printer will benefit greatly from this. Based on my testing, I would suggest that the thicker/taller the extrusion, the more benefits will be found.
Thanks to Alexander T. Moss, mjonuschat and all other contributors for their great work.
