I changed the feed and flow rate to 90 in Skeinforge but now the first layer is printing to fast, how can I correct this?

Thanks

Thanks, what number would you recommend? It was at 5 when the feed and flow rate was at 40, now it's at 90.

Do you mean 0.5? I have mine set at .75, but my flow and feed are pretty low (40mm/s).

Yeah 0.5. Am I right in thinking the higher the number the slower it will go, or is it the other way round?

Thanks

I believe it's the other way around. Skeinforge takes your feed/flow rate and multiplies it by whatever value you have for first layer multiplier. So if you're at 0.5 and you have a feed rate of 90, you'll get a first layer feed rate of 45.
