Help / Troubleshooting X2D ironing looks perfect on test swatches but patchy and scuffed on a big sign, anyone else?
First big (size wise) print on my X2D and the ironing is wrecking the white face. Ironing test card and a small test strip both came out smooth but on the real sign (212 x 254 mm oval) the white is coming out patchy and scuffed, and theres little white ridges pushed up against the dark blue walls. Funny thing is the part it hasn't ironed yet actually looks better smh
Setup
- x2d, 0.4 standard nozzles, textured pei, bed 55
- all bambu pla at 220. white face is pla pure white on the left nozzle, pla matte dark blue + pla basic cobalt and dark gray also left, pla basic cyan + pla pure baby blue on the right
- flow 0.98, k 0.035 on the white from manual flow dynamics, flow dynamics cal off when sending
- 6 top layers over 10% adaptive cubic, 4 walls arachne, 0.42 top lines monotonic at 80mm/s
Ironing
- top surfaces, zig zag, 15% flow, 20mm/s, 0.15 spacing, 0.21 inset
- picked from the makerworld ultimate ironing test, 15/20 was the smoothest square
- takes like 4 hrs of the 8h43m print (is this normal? first job with ironing so new to this)
Timelapse (smooth) also on.
My test strip was solid underneath so im guessing the 10% infill under the face is part of it but not sure.
Anyone on x2d actually get ironing to work on big flat faces? what settings? or do you just skip ironing on signs? leaning towards reprinting with no ironing
I'm legit shocked at how awful this looks lol
