Description

Use this pre-programmed test to find out the best ironing flow and speed for your filament. First panel is 30 speed and ironing flow from 0% to 60% at increments of 10. Second panel is 35 speed and Third is 40 speed. Try the top panel first and delete the bottom two and if you don't find a smooth surface then try the middle panel and delete the top and bottom panels etc.

 

Save time and aggravation to find that smooth top surface.

Rather disappointingly, it seems for some filaments ironing doesn't help. Not sure if that's good or bad actually! Great to have such evidence for ironing selection though.

Replying to @dtothek89 :
Some filaments can't handle an additional burn on the surface.

i used a 0.2 nozzle @ 0.06mm layer height and just scaled it down to 0.64mm z height so that there is 3 layers of solid infill over the text in the bottom and before the actual test

Works like a charm. One thing: the SPD text on the backside is mirrored :)
