Line width parameter and extrusion
I am fairly new to prusa slicer so i have a question. I understand the line width setting in prusa slicer affects that it extrudes a little more or less filament according to the settings? in example if default is 0.4mm so with 0.42mm line width it extrudes more plastic? Does it still move only 0.4 sideways width more linewidth/extrusion or does it make prusa mini extrude more filament and moves now 0.42 sideways? I was hoping to have some more extrusion for some of my parts.
RE: Line width parameter and extrusion
extrusion width both changes the rate of flow and the spacing of the filament traces to compensate for the changed extrusion width.
extrusion multiplier changes the Calculated filament flow rate, but doesn't change the spacing. during slicing.
adjusting the flow rate on the LCD, changes the calculated flow rate, by the flow factor, during printing.
Prusa slicer typically reduces the Flow rate in the custom Gcode, start gcode, for layer heights of 0.7mm and higher. to 95%

RE: Line width parameter and extrusion
Ah, this reply was excactly what I was after. So I see there is the Custom G-code at printter settings and there is the "M221 S95 ; set flow", which i have to to set higher for my purposes?
Thank you for the precise answer!
