Method to adjust flow rate

Interesting method to fi e tuning flow rate

Personally I think measuring wall thickness to adjust flow rate is a bad idea. Wall thickness depends on too many other factors as well. I prefer to adjust the extrusion factor to get the best quality top solid infill.

And... How?

Printing a cube of a few millimeters tall with infill at 100%... And determine with try error the best extrusion rate?

Or

Printing the same object... But change the extrusion rate on the fly?

I typically print a cube or a flattened cube with about 30% infill and 3 top solid layers. Then adjust the extrusion rate on the fly while printing the top layer.
