Flow Daddy

Description
UPDATE- After a ton of feedback from the OG 3D printing community, I have decided to make the instructional video private. Even though this tool was giving me and other users the same answers as the flow calibration test in slicer, it shouldn't have according to theory. Basically Flow Daddy measures the esteps, but with back pressure (ie nozzle attached). This is how I was getting different readings for different filaments, which lined up with what I was getting with on my visual slicer test. Apparently its just luck that its been working out that way. I will do an update video soon that will go into depth with more testing and conformation, but until then I dont feel comfortable possibly steering people wrong. I truly do apologize for any inconvenience, this tool was built with AI and lots of inexperience.
I came up with this calibration tool design after many failed attempts at getting my top surface looking right. The Flow Daddy measures input vs output of filament and gives you a flow ratio read out. Only takes about 2 minutes to preform calibration test. Letters start at the 8mm height. Still very readable with out different colored letters. Short instructional video posted on YT. Drop a sub on YT if you found this tool to help. Thanks!
So far I know that each bump on an A1 is 10mm, so you will need to hit the extrude button 10x to get the A1 to extrude 100mm (test requires 100mm)
A user on H2S reported that it does not go down 10mm per bump, (I'm guessing 5mm per bump since he said it went half way down). If anyone knows this answer please post in comments.
QIDI Max3 has option for 100MM extrusion
I will continue to post updates here as we find more information.
