I've got a prusa that's typical and and a switchwire that's fast. Running your tower with an acceleration of 4000 which is about the limit of my bed with input shaper, and watching the speed and flow display in mainsail it's apparent that the speed and flow isn't any where near that requested.
Whilst this likely does reflect the shape of a large part, with a 0.4 nozzle I'm not sure I can find the acceleration to outrun my hotend (trying to find the limits of a revo) even if I run spreadcycle and run at the mechanical limits near 10k and risk contaminating my data with print artifacts.
The first place most of us hit the flow rate limit is grid infill on a large part, or on latge straight lines, and both my printers can easity outrun a v6 and even a cht nozze in some circumstances. This might be appropriate on my long retired ender 3, I was going to benchmark the original hotend for the lulz with this.
I think the test piece just needs to have a much bigger straight section. I was trying someting similar in prusaslicer but i can't get vase mode to happen when using height range modifiers, so it has some artefacts.
I'm sorry to sound so negative. I really like this site, i'm very active on reddit and send people here a lot, Please keep up the good work. This is an amazing set of tools.
