**8)** Use the "acceleration" graphing calculator at the bottom of the page [:page_facing_up:here](https://blog.prusaprinters.org/calculator_3416/) to find the theoretical maximum speed for your acceleration/print area. Remember it for the next step.

- Keep in mind that currents approaching maximum may need greater stepper driver cooling.

- If you are pushing higher currents, you may also want to consider measuring the temperature of your motors. Ensure that they do not exceed 75-80C.

- Measure the temps when actually printing in a heat soaked chamber.
- Some multimeters come with a k-type thermocouple. You can kapton tape it to the motor housing.

- Some amount of this is unavoidable, but there are some things that *may* help:
- Use single top perimeters (SuperSlicer). This simply makes these infill areas a bit larger.
- Try reducing your pressure advance smooth time (I use 0.02)
- Try reducing top infill speeds and accelerations.
- Try reducing top infill speeds and accelerations.
- UNTESTED: Some people have told me that disabling "Enforce 100% fill volume" in SuperSlicer can help. I have not yet had time to verify this.

You want to tune your extrusion multiplier for the areas where your extrusion system has had a chance to equalize pressure and coast at a constant flow rate.

In this example, I would primarily be looking at the circled area.

While some of this print looks overextruded, I think the overall EM is actually pretty good.
