Flow tower does not change flow anywhere (Cura 5.7.0) #114

As I could not recognize any difference in the flow stages I looked to the preview in the Cura 5.7.0 Slicer and it confirmed that the flow stays the same.

Might be that this plugin is not compatible with Cura 5.7.0.

Also, if the model is re-scaled prior to slicing, things go wrong. That should not happen.

Find the gcode attached (as zip archive). Preset Flow Tower - Flow 115-85-PLA_lw-0.4mm_lh-0.12mm_if-15.0-210.0C.gcode.zip

Unfortunately, due to the way post-processing works in Cura, you won't be able to see flow changes in the Cura preview.

With that said, however, you are absolutely correct - the gcode you attached has no flow changes in it anywhere. Flow towers have been a challenge for me and it looks like you're using an old version of the plugin that may not have worked. I recommend trying a newer version. I hope (for real this time) to have a new version uploaded to the Marketplace soon.
