Discover how ironing in 3D printing can dramatically improve top surface quality and make your prints smoother. In this video, I show how to fine-tune ironing settings in PrusaSlicer and ended up designing a custom nozzle designed specifically for ironing on my Prusa XL. Perfect for anyone looking to optimize 3D print surface finish and explore new 3D printer upgrade ideas.
Ironing can be used on on any 3d printer, like Prusa MK4S, Prusa CORE One, Crealit, Elegoo or Bambulab machines.
