        <title>Extrude Less via Filament Diameter vs Flow Rate</title>
        <description> The only two fixes I know for over extrusion so far are lowering flow rate to feed rate ratio and increasing the filament diameter. Is there a better way to do this without compromising strength? If not, what are the pros and cons of changing these two parameters?</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I rather fix over-extrusion in the firmware (fixing ESteps per mm) than in the slicer software.<br />
<br />
Anyway if you need to update it when changing filament type, it might be better to use the <a href="http://fabmetheus.crsndoo.com/wiki/index.php/Skeinforge_Dimension#Filament_Packing_Density" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">"Filament packing density</a>" setting (in the "Dimension" module/tab).<br />
For instance I recently tried Laywoo(d) and the hobbed bolt seems to bite much more deeper in that than in regular PLA.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ The parameters you must change are Inset/Infill width over Thickness for infill, and Carve/Edge width over height for perimeter. Flow rate or filament diameter are not the settings to be modified in your case.<br />
