I believe that Adaptive Layers is a great idea. It automates and perfects the manual approach based on modifier meshes. It's absolutely a great idea. Thank you!
@curasurf - you are totally correct. Multiply those 3 numbers to get the volumetric flow. If the volumetric flow is constant then the speed of the extruder is constant and the flow is constant.
However of course you slow down on corners. the printer doesn't actually go at the full speed requested. It slows down on every corner based on the individual printers setting for "jerk" and acceleration. Also when there is a travel move, flow goes to zero briefly.

So if changing layer height slowly helps a print then changing the velocity could counter balance that. Maybe.

Ah, I think we were confusing print speed (movement in xy direction) with extrusion speed (how fast the extruder motor pushes out the filament). In my posts I meant the latter.

Np, it's fine to disagree on something, as long as it's civil 🙂
