Volumetric Flow rates - Muppet Labs guide

Hi All, 

Been doing a lot of research on volumetric flow rates recently, and invested in a Phaetus Highflow hotend... basically been kicking my ass this evening, until I came across Bob's article on the topic... and now realise where I've been going wrong. Made some slicer tweaks, and all is good with the world now!

Long story short, I hadn't compensated for the change back to a 0.4mm nozzle from a 0.8mm, and was trying to push the print speeds too fast. Slowed them down back to 15mm3/s (eSun PLA+) from the 20 I was at, and massive improvement in quality. I had to switch back from a 0.8mm nozzle as I couldn't get the required supports to detach nicely (thats another issue on its own!)

So thanks Bob, will be looking a lot of your other stuff on there as well 😀
