First Layer Extrusion Multiplier
Recently switched from Simplify 3D back to Prusa Slicer. I've managed to get good results but one setting I am missing is first layer extrusion multiplier. This is necessary for this application as I am printing with bespoke material which benefits greatly from additional 1st layer extrusion.
Is there any way to add additional extrusion to the first layer which I may be missing?
One option I came across was using a post processing script. Does anyone know what a post processing script which would increase first later extrusion multiplier would look like?
Many thanks in advance.
Best,
KH
RE: First Layer Extrusion Multiplier
you can change the flow rate in G code. which may help
M221 S105 ;should set the flow rate to 105% (Please be aware that a lot of the time Prusa Slicer sets flow rate to 95% so 105% would be 105 more than normal!

RE: First Layer Extrusion Multiplier
For example: if my filament extrusion multiplier is set to .93 but I wanted my first layer to use 1, would I set it to M221 S100 and then set it back to M221 S93 for the remaining layers?
RE: First Layer Extrusion Multiplier
yes that would work

RE:
Thanks very much guys. With the benefit of your assistance I added some conditional statements:
;BEFORE_LAYER_CHANGE
G92 E0.0;[layer_z]
{if layer_z <= 1}M221 S110 ; 28/06/22 first layer ext 110%
{elsif layer_z >= 2}M221 S099
{endif} ;
I'm also exploring another addition to add variable extrusion to Internal perimeters and external perimeters to achieve better layer adhesion while maintaining good surface finish. Is there a g-code/prusa slicer identifier for internal vs external perimeters?
Many thanks,
KH

Just for reference, I know this is an old post, but the correct code is:
;BEFORE_LAYER_CHANGE
G92 E0.0
{if layer_num <= 0}M221 S110 ; first layer ext 110%
{elsif layer_num >= 1}M221 S099
{endif} ;

Thank you very much for your hint! 🙂
RE: First Layer Extrusion Multiplier
Hi,
in your the example the extrusion multiplier are fixed values 99 and 110.
what would the code be if 99 is replaced with 'the setting in filament extrusion multiplier'
and the 110 is replaced with 'the setting in filament extrusion multiplier' +5% (where 5 is an example value)
Just for reference, I know this is an old post, but the correct code is:
;BEFORE_LAYER_CHANGE G92 E0.0 {if layer_num <= 0}M221 S110 ; first layer ext 110% {elsif layer_num >= 1}M221 S099 {endif} ;
