Extrusion Multiplier The extrusion multiplier is a parameter in 3D printer slicing software that adjusts the flow of filament during printing. It is a percentage value used to fine-tune the extrusion rate, ensuring that the right amount of material is extruded for optimal print quality. For instance, increasing the extrusion multiplier can correct under-extrusion, while decreasing it can address over-extrusion issues. Calibration of the extrusion multiplier involves printing test objects, such as calibration cubes or flow rate towers, and adjusting the value based on measurements and visual inspection. Properly setting the extrusion multiplier is crucial for achieving strong layer adhesion, accurate dimensions, and smooth surfaces in prints. |
