In FlashPrint there is an Extrusion Ratio setting. It's set to 97 % for the stock PLA profile and 107 % for the stock PETG profile. I would've thought these would be 100 % by default (and the same for all materials). Why is it that these defaults…

Under extrusion on one side, but only while printing support material

Trying to print a bracket for pliers, however the support material on the left side always fails by under extruding. The model is left-right symetrical, so the support is the same for both sides. However, only the right side prints flawlessly, while…
