-The "​extrusion multiplier"​ allows for compensation of varying filament properties, first of all the cutting depths of the drive gear into the filament but also deviations of the diameter (also see [[http://​manual.slic3r.org/​simple-mode/​simple-mode#​filament-settings|Slic3r manual]] and [[:tips-tricks#​calibrating-the-extrusion|Tips & Tricks]]).+The "​extrusion multiplier"​ allows for compensation of varying filament properties, first of all the cutting depths of the drive gear into the filament but also deviations of the diameter (also see [[http://​manual.slic3r.org/​simple-mode/​simple-mode#​filament-settings|Slic3r manual]] and [[tips-tricks#​calibrating-the-extrusion|Tips & Tricks]]).
 The extrusion properties of any material, although chemically exactly the same, may differ from one filament spool to the other so that it is impossible to determine the correct extrusion multiplier prior to delivery. After leveling the print bed, it is therefore mandatory to calibrate the extrusion to adapt your printer to the installed filament in order to ensure a correct printing performance. The extrusion properties of any material, although chemically exactly the same, may differ from one filament spool to the other so that it is impossible to determine the correct extrusion multiplier prior to delivery.
