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!

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:

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

RE: First Layer Extrusion Multiplier

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} ;
