In this video, I'm going to show you how to get the proper flow rate in Ultimaker Cura, and talk about all the flow settings you need to know once you have your flow rate.

First, let me explain what flow is and show you some printed examples of flow. Then, I'll discuss E-Steps and the two methods for finding flow. We'll set up tests and go through Method 1: Flow Tower, where I'll show you how to read a flow tower and what to look out for.

After that, we'll move on to Method 2: Accurate Flow, where I'll demonstrate how to measure the cube, do the math, and understand line width. We'll then use this knowledge to calculate a new flow rate.

Next, we'll dive into the flow settings and talk about wall flow settings, top/bottom flow settings, skirt brim flow settings, initial layer flow settings, and how to deal with elephant's foot. I'll also go over five reasons why good flow is important and the settings I check before every print.

And of course, we can't forget the bloopers at the end! So, stay tuned until the end to see some of my hilarious mistakes.

Overall, if you're looking to improve your 3D printing skills, learning about flow rate and flow settings is a crucial step. So, let's get started!
