M3DP Tutorials

These are the tutorials I have created over the years. I have tried to create playlists on YouTube. My focus is 3D printing slicers, Klipper, and Marlin setups. I also do a lot of videos on repairing 3D printers. I am always looking for new ideas. Don’t hesitate to reach out with some suggestions.

1.1 - OrcaSlicer Calibration and Max Flowrate

Think of MVS as an automatic speed limiter for your 3D printer’s filament flow.

OrcaSlicer Calibration and Max Flowrate: Fix It Fast with Orca Slicer’s Calibration Tool

Max Volumetric Speed Defined

According to Prusa3D, Max Volumetric Speed is defined as:

The Maximum volumetric speed setting (MVS) is one of the most powerful features in PrusaSlicer. The MVS setting essentially creates a manager for the maximum amount of filament that the slicer will attempt to push through your 3D printer’s hotend.

Video Description

Dial in Your Prints: OrcaSlicer Max Flow Rate Calibration Test

Stop printing with gaps and blobs! Master your flow rate with OrcaSlicer’s built-in Max Flow Rate Calibration Test.

This beginner-friendly tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the entire calibration process. Learn how to:

Access and configure the Max Flow Rate test in Orca Slicer
Print the test model and identify the optimal flow rate for your filament
Apply the new flow rate settings to achieve flawless prints with consistent material extrusion

Say goodbye to under-extrusion and hello to smooth surfaces and sharp details! This video is perfect for anyone who wants to take their 3D printing to the next level with OrcaSlicer.
