2.4. SIMPLE MODE
Figure 2.19: Simple Mode: Filament Settings.
Filament. The Diameter setting will already have been filled from the
value given during the wizard (see p.60), but can be updated here.
The Extrusion multiplier setting allows the fine tuning of the
extrusion flow rate, and is is given as a factor, e.g. 1 means 100%, 1.5
would mean 150%. Whilst the value should ideally be set in the firmware
it can be useful to test slight changes to the rate by altering this value. It
varies the amount of plastic proportionally and should be changed in very
small steps (e.g. +/- 0.05) as the effects are very visible.
Temperature. These values are also filled from the wizard, but here the
opportunity exists to set the temperature for the first layer (see p.64).
Printer Settings
The Printer Settings will be updated the least, unless Slic3r is going to
be used for many printers, for example, in a 3D printer farm.
