Wall thickness tuning

Hi,

I must be overlooking something obvious, please help me out. I rebuilt my home design Core-XY printer (it was worn out after 4 years of printing), better hot-end, and now I am recallibrating everything. I am stuck on the wall thickness. In S3D I read what the slicer believed the wall thickness was, I measured what is really was (single wall test print) and adjusted the extruding multiplier accordingly. In PrusaSlicer and SuperSlicer (yeah, I have that variation on the theme, too, but little support) I can find the extruder multiplier field, but I cannot find where is written what the Slicer believes it is printing. I can find all the percentages and a nice picture in the explanation. Please share with me where I can find what the slicer thinks it is printing, so I can compare to my measured value.

Cheers,

Hugo

RE: Wall thickness tuning

look at extrusion width settings


this table is for a 0.6mm nozzle. 

a 0.4mm nozzle normally uses o.45 mm perimeters.

Ah, thanks. And sorry for the late reply. I have all percentages, there, overlooked the fact that you can fill in mm as well. All new stuff to me.

Cheers,
