Getting the Right Flow: Ultimaker Cura 5 Flow Rate Settings

You definitely have one of the most informative channels on YouTube. Thank you for all the great content!

Great video, well explained. I just have one remark about the 100% precision of the second method. I'd like to draw your attention to how measuring tools, including calipers work. There are two factors to consider when using them : resolution vs precision. The resolution of a tool tells you how many increments your tool has. Say you calipers measure down to 0,01mm. Well you may be measuring a 20x20mm cube, and you calipers can read it as 20.00mm. But your tool/calipers are only PRECISE to 0.02mm. Well that means if you measure 20.00mm, then it could be 20.02 or 19.98mm. Another common value is a resolution of 0.02mm, but with precision of 0.04mm. Again, you'd be think you'd be measuring 20.04mm and correcting for that when in fact your measure was spot on at 20.00mm. So sure, calipers are a good tool, but don't rely on them too heavily. That value is true for good quality tools, such as Mitutoyo, but most people buy cheap calipers that may have a precision less than that even. If you want better precision, you'd need a micrometer, which is designed to measure very small values with a good precision. You can refer to Mitutoyo's table for reference : https://www.mitutoyo.com/webfoo/wp-content/uploads/15003A.pdf or search for precision vs resolution calipers on google. Cheers for the video though. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for another GREAT educational video. After finding your channel I've learned a lot. Thank you again.

Love your channel, As of this time I am not a 3D printer!!!! But this time 7:26 pm tomorrow I will have a new Sovol Sv-05 And I can start pulling out what little hair I have left.....But at 81 years old I think it's time to try something new.......Be well and be safe..Now back to watching all the rest of your vids..............🦜

Dude you are a scientist! Love the presentation and passion and humour you bring to the table! Yours videos are informative, in depth and most of all interesting to watch. You have turned a topic that would make most fall asleep of their chairs in the fetal position :).... and turn on the lights and action and brought 3d printing and all its pitfalls to the forefront of problem solving. I have not seen another you tuber put so much thought and organisation into every single tuning and problematic Cura and printing in general. you need to change your name to "THE CRAZY 3D PRINT SCIENTIST GUY" Well done!

Ive had a little experience with 3D printers, so I just purchased a FLSUN SR and love it. But it is by far a plug and play printer. I came across your videos and you have helped me so much getting the most out of my printer. Thank you, keep up the amazing work..

This series is AMAZING. I love how detailed you get on explaining everything. I just started 3D printing this week and immediately started issues when I tried to change anything in the settings. Printing a temp tower now and a flow tower next! I hope you're going to continue the series with a video on Supports! Thanks so much for the videos and the help!

very good explanation, perfect pronunciation for those who are not native English speakers.

I know the thread is a couple months old but it is full of great information and delivered with great detail

Loving your videos!!! Watching all of them right now

hi im new to 3d printing world and im lucky to find your videos! this is one of the best flow wideo i ever see.. and im not one of those who dont want to do a test i also like perfect prints.. for start i buy 4KG of filament just to test and learn.. my friends tell me im crayz and i alredy know it.. tnx a lot!

This video was EXTREMELY WELL DONE! Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you so much! You totally helped me! I had to take my esteps from 93.0 to 101.6!!!!!

Currently I’m printing at .002in so a thin hair discrepancy on my Ender3v2 and after watching this I’m definitely going to tweak some settings and see how much more accurate I can become. Thank you for the amazing advice though out this whole video. Definitely wish I found you sooner as I just came across you yesterday. I’ve already learned so much more about fine tuned settings it’s astonishing.

Incredible video my friend, very helpful tips. You really are a great teacher and explain things very well.

Good stuff here! Thanks, again, Chris!

Man! You're amazing. Your explanations are great! Keep it up!

I took a picture of a flat printed surface. Wich is supposed to to be completely closed. And In Illustrator I measured the relative width of the lines and gaps, find the percentage wich would be the correct width and transfered the value to cura. Worked!

Talking about flow - your moustache ❤

hey, im just staring so pretty green to all that stuff let me tell you that you nailed it for me anymay, keep up the great video. thanks

thanks for all the awesome vids. love it
