I just having a bit of trouble using the ironing option on my A1. I also have an X1C that does the ironing process quite well.

This is the original problem. Filament is PETG-HF…

I thought it might be the filament so I made a test piece and printed it in PLA…

Adjusting the ironing flow rate from 10% to 20% made it worse…

For now, I’ve reverted to no ironing and this is the test piece printed in PETG-HF at 0.20mm.

Like I said the X1C irons great with PLA and PETG, it’s something with the A1.

after the last software update my iron on my A1 is goon to heck too. i use the my sign site and i just waist print after print trying to fix it and its garbage. Please Bambu fix this its not on our end I’m sure of it.

EDIT:
ok so i went back to Bambu Studio v01.10.02.64 and the ironing was perfect. no more rough or wavy top surface. what ever is broken in the v2.xx.xx.xx version i hope they figure it out soon and fix it.

I actually made a model to find a good ironing setting on my A1

For me, 10mm/s and 14% flow works best. But i havent tried it in Bambu Slicer v2, maybe the problem is in the newer versions.
