Added new images for adaptive cubic and 2D honeycomb infill patterns. Updated strength_settings_infill.md to revise infill strength values, descriptions, and remove references to deleted images. Introduced documentation for 2D honeycomb infill and made minor corrections and clarifications throughout. * Revise infill pattern documentation and add comparison table Updated strength_settings_infill.md to clarify infill density calculation, add a comprehensive comparison table of infill patterns, and standardize terminology for strength and print time. Expanded pattern descriptions to use qualitative strength ratings instead of numeric values. Updated infill_desc_calculator.xlsx to reflect these changes. * Indentation in code examples Adjusted the indentation of code blocks in the cornering calibration documentation for clarity and consistency with the rest of the document. * Update 3D Honeycomb infill strength ratings Adjusted the horizontal strength rating for 3D Honeycomb infill from 'Normal' to 'Normal-High' in the strength settings documentation and table. Updated the infill_desc_calculator.xlsx file to reflect these changes. * Formatting and fix in ERS documentation Updated headings to use consistent Markdown syntax, improved clarity in explanations, and reworded references for better readability. * Fix wall generator doc link and filename Updated the Home.md to reference the correct 'quality_settings_wall_generator' section and renamed the corresponding documentation file for consistency. --------- Co-authored-by: Rodrigo <162915171+RF47@users.noreply.github.com>

Flow rate
The Flow Ratio determines how much filament is extruded and plays a key role in achieving high-quality prints. A properly calibrated flow ratio ensures consistent layer adhesion and accurate dimensions. If the flow ratio is too low, under-extrusion may occur, leading to gaps, weak layers, and poor structural integrity. On the other hand, a flow ratio that is too high can cause over-extrusion, resulting in excess material, rough surfaces, and dimensional inaccuracies.
Warning
Bambulab Printers: make sure you do not select the 'Flow calibration' option.
Important
PASS 1 and PASS 2 follow the older flow ratio formula
FlowRatio_old*(100 + modifier)/100.
YOLO (Recommended) and YOLO (perfectist version) use a new system that is very simpleFlowRatio_old±modifier.
Calibrating the flow rate involves a two-step process.
-
Select the printer, filament, and process you would like to use for the test.
-
Select
Pass 1in theCalibrationmenu -
A new project consisting of nine blocks will be created, each with a different flow rate modifier. Slice and print the project.
-
Examine the blocks and determine which one has the smoothest top surface.
-
Update the flow ratio in the filament settings using the following equation:
FlowRatio_old*(100 + modifier)/100. If your previous flow ratio was0.98and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of+5, the new value should be calculated as follows:0.98x(100+5)/100 = 1.029.** Remember** to save the filament profile. -
Perform the
Pass 2calibration. This process is similar toPass 1, but a new project with ten blocks will be generated. The flow rate modifiers for this project will range from-9 to 0. -
Repeat steps 4. and 5. In this case, if your previous flow ratio was 1.029 and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of -6, the new value should be calculated as follows:
1.029x(100-6)/100 = 0.96726. Remember to save the filament profile.
Tip
@ItsDeidara has made a html to help with the calculation. Check it out if those equations give you a headache here.
