Slic3r Flow Control of Filament

Hi all

I have searched through the settings of Slic3r to adjust the flow control of the filament but cannot see / work out which one it is. I have been using some filamentum and seem to get better results at 105-108%, but the excellent PLA I got through Prusa, works best at 100%. I wanted to create a profile for this so I don't forget as I have to change it on the printer currently

Thanks in advance

Nick

I have another question re this sorry, by setting the multiplier in Slic3r, does it still display as 100% on the printer if I selected selected 1.06 say in Slic3r?

Absolutely. The printer is simply following instructions and knows nothing about any Slicer settings

Thanks again for your help, working through my learning bit by bit. AM comfortable with PLA, ABS is definitely trickier and I find each filament needs a tweek this way and that in my search for perfection whilst trying to avoid printing balls of string.
My lesson today was when using the shell command, always look at the model in Outline only mode before printing to avoid finding a little micro gap that is in fact too small for the printer to actually print anything. 😀
