Parts:
- Prusament ASA, about 25 g · consumable
Do: Take the winner from 14.19 and print four more cubes at ±0.5 % and ±1.0 % around it. Pick the smoothest centre and write that number into the filament profile's extrusion multiplier, not the print profile.
Check
The chosen cube has a uniformly smooth top with no gaps and no ridging.
What you're looking at
A second, finer pass around the winner, judged the same way by eye on the centre of each top surface. The multiplier is not a size setting: Ellis tunes it for the surface, and Voron parts need no other compensation.
Good stopping point · ~25 min since the last one
both extrusion-multiplier passes done and the final number written into the filament profile. It was chosen by the top surface, not by a caliper.
