### Flow Rate

Default is 210.
Defines the flow rate which will be written following the M108 command. The flow rate is usually a PWM setting, but could be anything, like the rpm of the tool or the duty cycle of the tool.

## Examples

The following examples flow the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and flow.py.
> python flow.py
This brings up the flow dialog.
> python flow.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
The flow tool is parsing the file:
Screw Holder Bottom.stl
..
The flow tool has created the file:
.. Screw Holder Bottom_flow.gcode
> python
