Ironing calibration: larger, speed & flow

Update with V03: Added plate 3 with 90 to 150mm/s, contributed by @Error_ 

Ironing test for ironing speeds from 15 to 45mm/s (plate 1) or 50 to 80mm/s (plate 2) or 90 to 150mm/s (plate 3) and ironing flow from 10 to 50%.

This is a larger version for larger surfaces. If you are searching for a quicker print and/or want to know the best settings for smaller surfaces, my other model is probably better for you.

Rotated 90 degrees to get the slicer to begin the ironing with the smaller flow areas, to avoid problems with filaments that tend to blob (as much as possible).

Instructions

• on bambu mobile: select your printer, plate and filament(profile) and just hit print

   

• on bambu studio: same as above, but if you need to switch your printer, make sure you enable “Advance” in the “Process” Menu before switching printer, or some ironing settings might get lost (depending on your bambu studio version). Thanks to @GianfLab for letting me know!

  

Notes:

• Dial in your filament first (flow, pressure advance) or this print won't make a lot of sense

   

• If you don't know  which plate to start with: start with the second one (50-85 mm/s) and only try the first / third if you have usable results on the 50 / 85 mm/s strip or no usable results at all

   

• If you want to save time, it might make sense to try the smaller model first and in this model here, delete strips with ironing-speeds that gave you bad results  before (dont print them)

   

• Results will be different for different filament types (materials) and often also different filaments, sometimes even for the same brand&product but different color (same as with most filament settings/calibrations, especially for white and transparent VS other colors)

   

• For filaments that tend to blob (e.g. PETG) it might make sense to check for blobbing frequently and/or only print 1 stripe at a time. Having “half-liquid” filament around your nozzle while ironing will affect the ironing result.
