Question on Instagram: For a maths equation feature, is it the "Eoverride" box that allows you to change the flow according to an equation? If not, how can I make the flow vary automatically according to the movement? I can do it for the speed but I haven't found it yet for the flow 🤔
My answer: Use the extrusion width parameter (box) in FullControl. There are parameters for speed, width and height. They can all be equations.
Eoverride is more complicated... it sets the extrusion value for each segment in the whole mathematical curve (i.e. the exact value of E to write in the GCode for each G1 command), which means it doesn't allow FullControl to automatically calculate E based on segment length. It overrides the normal process of FullControl using width x height x length to calculate volume (and convert from mm3 to mm of feedstock filament if your printer uses those units for E)
