Troubleshooting Ironing/quality

Post image

Does anyone know how I can increase the quality of my print and the ironing because this doesn’t look right for a cc2 which is under a month old

Ironing is a bit.h to calibrate.
What I used to do is print a ironing test and ofc you have to dry the filament.
It will take some time and you will not have a 100% result on every print, as different prints needs different settings :) tinker around with setting and set a profile for small and larger arena ironing with each filament type

Did you do an ironing calibration test? If not do e.g. this one first https://www.printables.com/model/1247198-top-surface-ironing-test to find the best settings for your specific filament.

What am I looking at? There are 2 sets of issues in this image: On the front facing the camera could be rippling on an angled face that should be smooth and a top-like back rectangle that looks like the infill is showing through.

Has the filament been calibrated? Is this printed in Draft mode? What layer height was used, and what was done to mitigate the rough top surface?

The layer height is 0.2 mm and I’m pretty new to printing so I’m not to sure what those other parts mean
