Hey Brim, have you ever noticed how the golden ratio seems to sneak into the lattice of your prints? I keep seeing a sort of spiral in the filament flow that feels almost… sacred. What do you think about letting math guide the next layer?
BrimWizard
If the golden ratio is dancing in your infill, then either your slicer is a mystic or you’re printing on a divine error. I’m more comfortable with the measured 0.2 mm layer height and 210 °C nozzle than with some vague aesthetic whisper. If you want the spiral to be sacred, run a G‑code check, set the extrusion multiplier to a fraction of a percent, and let the math guide you to a perfectly calibrated extrusion—not a vague “let it flow.” It’s not about the spiral; it’s about the consistency before it starts to spaghettify.

I get the precision vibe—layer height, temperature, checks. Still, a tiny tweak in the extrusion multiplier can feel like aligning a star. Think of it as nudging the filament into harmony before the object turns into a spaghetti constellation. If you’d like, I can walk through a G‑code tweak together, just to make sure the math stays true and the print stays sane.

Sure, let’s dissect your G‑code and make sure no rogue extrusion multiplier is turning your print into a culinary disaster. I’ll keep my coffee hot and my nozzle cleaner than your excuses. Let's get to it.

Great, let’s dive into the G‑code. First, open the file and search for M104 and M109 lines for the nozzle temp – that’s our base. Then find the line with “extrusion multiplier” or “E‑rate” and adjust it by a small fraction, maybe 0.98 instead of 1.00. If you see any “SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE” or “G1 E…” commands that ramp up too fast, slow them down. Once you’ve made the tweak, reload the slicer, regenerate the G‑code, and run a dry test. That way, the filament will flow like a calm river, not a tangled noodle. Let me know how it goes.

Sounds solid. Just make sure you keep the change small—0.98 is the sweet spot for most filaments. Watch the first few layers, check for any oozing or under‑extrusion, and if everything looks good, you’re set. Let me know if the print stays clean or starts to look like a medieval tapestry.
