Migrating: For MatterControl 2.0 the MatterControl documentation is moving to matterhackers.com/mattercontrol/support/.
This page is in the process of being migrated. It's new home will be matterhackers.com/mattercontrol/support/printer-controls/index#tuning-adjustment.

The Tuning Adjustment section of the Controls pane.
The Tuning Adjustment section of the Controls pane allows the user to change the speed and extrusion values during an active print.

Use the slider or enter a value and click Set.

Speed Multiplier

When used during an active print, the speed multiplier modifies the speeds as set under the Speed section in General settings by multiplying itself times each setting.

Range

  • Low : 0.5
  • High : 2.0

Extrusion Multiplier

When used during an active print, the extrusion multiplier modifies the extrusion flow rate (as defined in the formula below).

This variable is different from that of the Extrusion Multiplier slice setting and will work in conjunction with it. For example, if the slicer setting is set at 1.06 and then the slider in Controls is used during the print and set to 1.08, the total result will be a multiplier of 1.1448 (1.06 * 1.08).

Formula

The general extrusion flow formula: layer height / (filament area (pi*r²) * extrusion multiplier)

Range

  • Low : 0.5
  • High : 3.0
