Tips for Manual flow calibration for clear filament?

Anyone have any tips for Manual flow calibration for clear filament?

I tried feeling the smoothness but from -20 to 20 it mostly feels the same. I tried using my fingertip and nail, and at different angles, but the results are either mixed or just feel all the same!

Any tips on how to figure it out are appreciated!

Use your smartphone as a magnifying glass.

However, sometimes you will hardly see any differences or only marginal differences. The next time you use the same filament for printing, the calibration value may differ slightly.

Best regards!

What are you attempting to achieve?
a smoother finish or a clearer finish although I suspect one might also contain the other…
I think I once saw a YT video on getting clear PLA to print clearer but cant remember which channel.

I thought I had posted this to another section of this forum, not MakerWorld. Oops.

I tried the camera trick, and it usually works for me for regular colors, but for the clear filament they all look the same. Strange.

Smoother finish/correct flow.
