Maturity: Good

I designed this model to better understand the bias of calibrating the extruder multiplier by measuring its wall thickness.
You will surely find inconsistencies. Despite that, it is still my preferred method.
Two configurations:
- One for 0.4 nozzle (Hexagone-r01c - Hex75-H05-N0.4-LH.020)
- One for 0.6 nozzle (Hexagone-r01c - Hex80-H05-N0.6-LH0.30)
Printing parameters
Print at your normal print speed. You may not be so capped by minimum layer time.
Must be set:
- Perimeters: 3
- Top solid layers: 0
- Infill: 0%
- Modifiers are in the .3mf file
For the perimeters to fit exactly in the walls, those widths are nice (https://manual.slic3r.org/advanced/flow-math).
- 0.4 nozzle / 0.2 layer height, to get a proper spacing path of 0.4:
- Perimeter width = 0.443
- External perimeter width = 0.471
- 0.6 nozzle / 0.3 layer height, to get a proper spacing path of 0.6:
- Perimeter width = 0.664
- External perimeter width = 0.682
It may not be so dramatic to not use those width values but never tried without.
