How to do variable extrusion

I'm trying to figure out how to do variable extrusion, I want a part that looks like the part in the ultrawide extrusion video but not sure how to go about it. I tried to change the line width with a sine wave but it didn't work. Any help?

Hi, changing line width with a sine wave is a good approach. But its likely also worth changing speed. So if you double width, you can halve speed. This means volumetric flow rate is constant. And check the GCode F and E numbers to make sure it's doing exactly what you think
