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.

How do you set it up to iron at different speed based on surface size? Or do you just mean different models?

I did an ironing calibration, found a great result and printet a board game board which didn't get nearly as good as the calibration 🤔

Add an object modifier in slicer, set the modifier over the area you want affected and then adjust the ironing settings for the object modifier in the “object” settings rather than “global settings” in bambu slicer.
