I looked this up recently, IIRC the official method was "just change your feed rate and the flow will change". If you use flow equalization in cura it works pretty okay, you could theoretically get it pretty even everywhere by tweaking if thats what you desire. If you look at the flow view you can see what the pressure will be because flow=pressure. I was slightly annoyed at first but now that Im used to it, Im like "meh". this arachne thing seems to work okay even without perfectly equal flow, so why do I need to stress about it. I can set roughly the flow I want and keep it consistent for a given material and I get the results I need. that's my two cents
