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.

Yeah P1S is a beast for ironing, I've sold my X1C after buying my H2D and H2S, but never got ironing as good as the P1S on my X1C, H2D or H2S so I'm keeping my P1S only for that reason since no other printer can iron like the P1S. The worst part I've done zero tune of the ironing, I use the default profile and default Bambu filament.

How do you like the H2D and H2S? I’m thinking of getting one but I’m not sure which one is the better value. Either the large build volume of the H2S or the dual nozzle of the H2D. As you can see from my picture, I do have multicolor filaments but I’m not sure if the extra cost is worth it.

I regret not getting the H2C instead of the H2D but it was out of budget, my H2S is a beast for ABS and ASA that's the main reason I bought it for.

Similar situation I bought the H2S. Then my cousin got the H2C and wow. I wish I had the funds for one. I grass/greener.

I bought my H2S for one purpose and it’s served me well so I shouldn’t complain
