Manual Flow and Feed Hello I am using Repetier Firmware and Host and slic3r. I am new and just starting to get my first prints this week. One of the problems I am having was nozzle dragging across the print. My level and Z steps were checked and I believe are good. I reduced the Manual Flow rate and I could hear the dragging stop. If I want to change the Manual Feed rate also, does that maintain the same ratio of extruding over distance? or does the Manual flow rate also have to bumped up as well? If I want to update the firmware with what I learn from the manual controls, do I just multiply all the different speed parameters in slicer by the percent indicated in the manual control. Does the Manual extruder speed control effect anything during printing? Thanks in advance https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,316610,316610#msg-316610 Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:11:38 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,316610,316852#msg-316852 Re: Manual Flow and Feed https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,316610,316852#msg-316852 Great software you have written by the way]]> Jomo Repetier Thu, 27 Feb 2014 07:40:15 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,316610,316808#msg-316808 Re: Manual Flow and Feed https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,316610,316808#msg-316808

Hello
I am using Repetier Firmware and Host and slic3r.
I am new and just starting to get my first prints this week. One of the problems I am having was nozzle dragging across the print. My level and Z steps were checked and I believe are good. I reduced the Manual Flow rate and I could hear the dragging stop.
If I want to change the Manual Feed rate also, does that maintain the same ratio of extruding over distance? or does the Manual flow rate also have to bumped up as well?
Feedrate adjusts flow correctly. Use flow controller only if you see too much/less extrusion.

Exactly that is what the multiplier in Slic3r is for. Adjusting flow so 100% is correct.

Does the Manual extruder speed control effect anything during printing?
No, it is only for the manual extrusion over the interface.]]> repetier Repetier Thu, 27 Feb 2014 06:29:49 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,316610,316610#msg-316610 Manual Flow and Feed https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?267,316610,316610#msg-316610 I am using Repetier Firmware and Host and slic3r.
