Doing flow rate and pressure advance calibration correctly will fix under extrusion, over extrusion, inconsistent extrusion, and rough surfaces in your 3D prints.
Adding the optional calibration steps will further fix blobs and zits, remove gaps, and reduce stringing in your 3D prints.
Combining all of these calibrations will significantly improve print quality, resulting in cleaner, faster, and stronger prints.
Let me know how it turns out for you!
