Just going to throw this idea I came across for a clients recent project.
First off I don’t typically utilize the ironing feature due to the inconsistencies I’ve experienced (not everyone has had issues). I simply chose not to use it and more so go for a smooth top layer within print parameters.
Awhile back I suggest to BL that they implement other options like infills as the patterns. I received a positive response and later on they came out with ‘Concentric’. Well that did help achieve somewhat better ironing results but recently I was pondering the idea of why do I have to choose to either iron the [Top Most Surface] or[All Solid Layers]…
I feel like it would be easy to add in the option of being able to select and designate a single layer that you would want to be ironed since that would only apply the operation to [1 Line] of code then move on.
Just a thought and I wonder if anyone would benefit from this at all. I wanted to only iron a single surface on a certain layer but had to iron all of them or just the top which made for a longer print time and more chances of the other ironed surfaces having defects.
