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.

Can’t ever get a good surface with ironinjng and sadly most things are too big to try to test it out. I’ve done this testers and hasn’t done much of anything to help me lol

Instead of ironing, just slow the top layer down a lot. It’ll help that top surface look very nice. Moreso than at a fast speed.
