Extrusion Flowrate Calculator

***With the Google sheet open, from the File menu there is the option to make a copy in your GDrive. This will give you your own, editable copy***

This is a Google Sheet to assist in choosing layer heights and print speeds based on nozzle size and a maximum flow rate.

Hot end/extruder combos can only flow so much material before they start skipping/etc. I ran into this with my Flashforge Creator Pro when trying to extrude thick layers @ 90mmps with a .6mm nozzle.

I made this Sheet to assist in figuring out:
1)For a given nozzle size and layer height, what is the max feedrate I can run while staying withing the set flowrate?
2)For a given nozzle size and feedrate, what is the max layer height I can run while staying within the set flowrate?

There are 3 sections in it:
1)Quick flowrate calc - plug in your nozzle size, layer height, and print speed to get the flowrate.
2)Solve for print speed - plug in your target flowrate. Max print speed will be calculated based on desir
