I have tested a lot of different flowrate calibration methods on the internet but methods I found were not accurate, time-consuming or just were not working for me. This is the method I have elaborated by merging a few other methods and adding some my expirence.

**Attention!**
Before calibrating flowrate make sure that Your E-Steps are well calibrated. Otherwise, you will waste your time. Also make sure that filament which You are using is good quality - Ø tolerance is not bigger ±0,05 mm. Do not use no-name filaments because their diameter may be fluctuating and it will be impossible to achieve stable results.

**How to calibrate flow rate using this method:**
1. Print the calibration model matching Your nozzle size with flowrate set to 100%. Extrusion width must be set to nozzle diameter.
2. Using calipers, measure width of a few top layers. Do it in the middle of each wall. I recommend measuring from 2 to 5 last layers. But be consequent! Make all measurements in the same way.
3. Take the average value from measuring all walls.
4. Now using the…
