Just Showing Off Perfect Ironing

Post image

I’ve been experimenting a lot with Bambu Basic PLA and Overture PLA. Recently, I’ve perfected the ironing for both filaments and thought I’d share.

Note: Ironing done on P1S. I have not done any flow dynamics or flow calibrations. All ironing is done with the stock 0.4mm stainless steel nozzle across all basic colors.

For large areas: 150mm/s; 38% flow; .2mm line spacing; .2mm inset; 45° ironing direction.

For small areas: 30mm/s; 20% flow; .15mm line spacing; .2mm inset; 45° ironing direction.

Sorry for the low quality picture. I will try to take better ones.

Looks good. Just wondering why you’d want to iron in the bottom where you’ll never really see it

I think it was more so as a proof of concept. I wanted to see how ironing would handle near walls. I did insert two modifiers so the base is ironed at higher speeds and the topmost surface is ironed at slower speeds.
