Initial Layer Flow Not Working

[Slartibartfast 0]

I'm not sure what my problem is but after a few rounds of tuning I can't seem to get my Initial Layer Flow setting to function.

 

After printing a calibration test I found I had to reduce my flow to 84% and now get great prints however the "brim" on my first layer comes out a little stringy and separated, so I went to up my "Initial Layer Flow "back to 100% and was surprised to discover it was already at 100. Slightly concerned I thought the value may represent a 'change' from the standard flow (though must admit I thought it unlikely). In any event I tried changing to 120% but can't see any change to the printing.

 

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I don't know if it will help you. There is more than one value you can set for adjusting flow rates. Maybe this will give you more possibilities to fine tune this.

Arr, thank you @DivingDuck. I had used the search feature to find the "Initial Layer Flow" in the first place but failed to notice there was a separate "Skirt/Brim" flow. Giving that a go now.

 

Thanks: 👍
