POLYLIGHT 1.0 – LW PLA foaming/expansion test by extrusion multiplier

Foaming - Expansion test

These cubes are for the determination of the flow rate of POLYLIGHT 1.0 - LW-PLA at different temperatures.

Based on POLYLIGHT 1.0 Technical Data Sheet, these six cubes are printed from 1 to 0.5 extrusion multiplier (smaller extrusion multiplier didn't work for me).

If you want to change the extrusion multiplier go to Printer Settings>Custom G-code

Start G-code 

change this:M221 S100;to this: M221 S{extrusion_multiplier_in_%_1st_cube};

Between object G-code

change this:

;change extrusion for new object
M117 Object number [current_object_idx] ;Display what we are doing on the LCD screen
{if current_object_idx == 1}M221 S90
{elsif current_object_idx ==2}M221 S80
{elsif current_object_idx ==3}M221 S70
{elsif current_object_idx ==4}M221 S60
{elsif current_object_idx ==5}M221 S50
{endif}

to this:

;change extrusion for new object
M117 Object number [current_object_idx] ;Display what we are doing on the LCD screen
{if current_object_idx == 1}M221 S{extrusion_multiplier_in_%_2nd_cube}
{elsif current_object_idx ==2}M221 S{extrusion_multiplier_in_%_3rd_cube}
{elsif current_object_idx ==3}M221 S{extrusion_multiplier_in_%_4th_cube}
{elsif current_object_idx ==4}M221 S{extrusion_multiplier_in_%_5th_cube}
{elsif current_object_idx ==5}M221 S{extrusion_multiplier_in_%_6th_cube}
{endif}

The cubes are printed sequentially and the filament can ooze.
