I noticed that when I set a specific flow rate for the first layer, the entire model will pint at that flow rate (observed on the LCD and in the gcode as there is only one m221). I do not have Equalize Filament Flow turned on. I worked around the problem using a post processing script under Extensions -\> Post Processing -\> Modify G-code and adding a TweakAtZ on layer 1 to set the flow rate to 100. I verified the m221 s100 was after layer 0 and before layer 1 (you could even do the fist couple layers at a higher flow rate this way). ---

Well, the m221 s100 is present at my desired layer in the g code, but according to the lcd, my feedrate stayed at 103% and did not change to 100% (I let it run for many layers after the m221 s100) The line calls up T0 (M221 T0 S100) does that matter? I assumed this was for multiple extruders as each tool code i.e. T0 for 1st extruder T1 for second, but there are no other T blocks in the entire program. Edit: This may be the mistake. I accidentally selected “Tweak Flow Rate 1” instead of just “Flow Rate”. The difference is Tweak Flow Rate 1 generates a tool number T0 on the line, and Flow Rate does not (I thought I selected flow rate, but perhaps I got a little click happy). Going to try on the next print… ---

Update, that fixed the issue with the workaround. It would be nice if the feature worked as it is intended though. ---

Just ran into this as well. I’m finding it quite impossible to get high quality prints with this version of Cura. ☹ Will try to make this workaround happen.
