Observations and winning values

No notes recorded.

Verification test

Model
100 mm extrusion and thin-wall test
Setup
Use the same nozzle, material and hotend temperature planned for the print.
Pass
Flow is smooth and the wall is continuous with stable width.
If unchanged
Clicking, gaps, pulsing or inconsistent line width remains.
