Tuning Whilst Printing

Hi All

I'm new on here so please forgive if this as already been asked ( i couldn't find anything).

My question is about tuning whilst printing. I am using Cura to open my STL file and and send to printer but once printing I can tune from the printer itself. If I increase the Speed will this automatically increase the Flow or do I need to increase this by the same amount?

Regards

Hi Sarf2K4

Yes in understand that but does it increase the speed and flow at the same time?

Yes it does, however, do note that there are limitation to your hot end and extruder too how fast your extruder can push and how fast your hot end can melt the plastic.

The parameters you used during slicing is the default means at 1 or 100% speed in FR (feed/flow rate?) on the lcd panel, lower means slower and vice versa.

Frankly, I only used this twice, increasing the speed, didn't see any defects, I only tried it on normal cubes
