[Cura 4.6.1 Flow Rate Problems]

Hey,

 

i had the same issue after Upgraded my creality ender 3 to silent board 1.1.8 and update to Cura 4.61.

Solution from SLY999 works fine for me.

 

after lots of testing i figured out that "Initial Flow Setting" will be also subtracted from previous Flow Settings and its not an absolut Value

 

If i leave Flow at 100 % i got following gcode in first Layer

;TYPE:SKIN
G1 F1200 X105.99 Y105.99 E33.34682 -> this is the Extrusion Value at 100% just as reference

 

Now i set Flow to 95 % and leave "Inital Layer Flow" at 100% 

;TYPE:SKIN
G1 F1200 X105.99 Y105.99 E31.67948 - Extrusion Value is 95% instead of 100 %

 

 

after that i set Flow to 95 % and set "Initial Layer Flow" at 95 % 

;TYPE:SKIN
G1 F1200 X105.99 Y105.99 E30.09551 - now Extrusion Value is 95% - 95 %

 

according to Cura Popup Help text Flow Settings shouldn't be affected by each other, do i misunderstood the Flow Settings or is it a bug?
