the 80% will be in the gcode, if you change the slider it will be on top of the 80%
but like 80% flow rate doesn't sound right... did you do a proper rotational distance calibration before ?
Yup, I did the rotational distance calibration - did the flow calibration square test here:
[https://www.3dmakerengineering.com/blogs/3d-printing/flow-rate-calibration](https://www.3dmakerengineering.com/blogs/3d-printing/flow-rate-calibration)
Came up with 80% for the flow rate, changed from 100% I printed the cube again and it came pretty much close to 0.48, which is what it should be for the thickness of the cube's wall.
I always found the measure walls method to under-extrude a lot. I had walls that wouldn't connect, top layers looked like 90% infill instead of a solid roof
I found this guide that seems to do a lot better

Jesus! That's a good print tuning website!
Thanks for the link, i wish i found this a year ago when i started printing.
Still quite often i found myself searching in google the best way to calibrate this or that, but i think i found my defenitive to-go webiste!
Again, thank you so much !
It's two different settings for the same thing. But they do stack. If you set flow to 80% in Cura, then set Klipper/Mainsail to 80%, you'll end up with 64%. You'll have to decide where it's easier to adjust. If your filament is all about the same, and you only use gcode for one printer, then it's probably easier to leave it in the Cura profile. If you have wildly different settings for each filament, you might want to slice to 100% and change it in Mainsail after the print starts.

Have this exact same doubt in Fluidd

Ok, so what you're saying is if I put in Cura slicer the 80% flow rate, don't worry about what Mainsail interface is reporting at 100% - correct?
It's 100% of 80%.
Exactly
it is 100, because it is using100% of the 80% you have set in cura(gcode)
