Explanation for "flow sensor detection margin" setting in material profile - can this help with ER65?

Posted · Explanation for "flow sensor detection margin" setting in material profile - can this help with ER65?

Hi all, I own S5 pro bundle and print various materials favorably ASA, PAHT, BVOH and TPU successfully.

For soft parts I have found the foaming Varioshore TPU from Colorfab excellent. However, here and then I get an ER65.

 

I like to understand how exactly the "flow sensor detection margin" setting in the material profile works. I cannot find any documentation.

Is my assumption correct, that when increasing it from the default value of 0.8 to e.g. 1.5 i decrease the likelyhood that the flow sensor kicks-in?.

When this error happens, i can simply press the continue button on the display and the print continues like nothing happened. However, with a 2 day print thats impractical.

 

And yes, of course i have read all ER65 support material documentation.

* adjusted feeders (higher tension for softer TPU)

* recalibrated the decoupler

* cleaned everything, good tubes, .

* dry material

* retraction settings for 0.8mm nozzle at 10mm for 40mm/s speeds (to reduce oozing)

 

Thx,

FG

        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
