I see you haven't read my rant regarding single and double wall calibration cubes.
In the Marketplace you will find a plugin called Printer Settings. Load it and restart Cura. One of the settings in there is Diameter. Measure your filament diameter with a decent caliper and enter the number into Cura in that box. (My filament from Matter Hacker is a very consistent 1.72 diameter and not 1.75). Calibrate the E-steps of the printer and you are all done. The prints will show you if you are over or under extruding. Ya just gotta look.
Walls are not a particularly good check of over-under extruding. Infill and skins give a much better visual.
Flow is the ratio of: Volume of Filament to Volume of Extrusion. When that ratio is 1:1 the flow is 100%. The thickness of a wall that consists of extrusions that are unconstrained on both sides just doesn't come into it.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
