OrcaSlicer legacy flow ratio

Calculate a flow ratio from the selected patch in the legacy two-pass test.

When this helps

Calculate a flow ratio from the selected patch in the legacy two-pass test. Start with Current flow ratio; this calculator reports New flow ratio.

Method

New ratio = current ratio × (100 + selected percentage modifier) ÷ 100.

Worked example

Example inputs

Current flow ratio
0.98 ratio
Selected legacy patch modifier
5 %

Calculated outputs

New flow ratio
1.029 ratio

How to read the result

With these example inputs, New flow ratio is 1.029 ratio. Use that value for the setting or decision named above, and read the other outputs as supporting checks.

Common mistake

Do not leave Current flow ratio at the example value of 0.98 ratio unless it matches your own measurement.

Assumptions and limits

For the legacy percentage test only. Choose the patch yourself. The YOLO test uses a different, additive formula.
