Hey everyone! I apologize for the horrible contrast with the white filament. I buy about 90% of my filament in white and all I had on hand was a little bit of grey. I will be sure to give you guys a much better prepared video in my next one. You should have seen how many shots I had to take with different cameras just to get you guys what is in the video. Again my mistake, I am still learning on all of this and totally take the blame!
NP! I am loving your videos btw. I feel well prepared for when my first P1S arives tomorrow! I am upgrading from an EnderV2, so I guess I am in for a treat. Would love to see you experiment more with the ironing. (With black filament of course 😉)
Looking forward to a more detailed Video explaining the settings! Hope its still on your list I had Problems with ironing when there was only a thin Text on the top surfaces. Somehow it got it all squished and unreadable
Why not use a black/dark filament? White is commonly known to be among the best for hiding layer lines and imperfections due to low contrast. Black filament would almost certainly be a better fit for tests like this.
@@koifish1le996 I completely agree with you. Unfortunately all I had was white and a little bit of dark grey. I apologize for the bad contrast and I should have spray painted the filament to make up for this. My next video on ironing or anything to do with quality I will be sure to have black on hand.
Amazing results; appreciate the demo and mini guide. I happen to notice it was done on the X model of the printer; I may have not noticed, but can't be done with A1 mini?
@@bambamprint Oh, really? That's too bad. I suppose other settings like layer height and layer width might be more effective. The overall speed might also make a difference. I'm looking forward to the next experiments. Thanks.
🤘BITCHIN🤘Always great content here, Thankyou. A small warp can mess up the top layers, so i use a brim or mouse ears to hold it close, also most of the time when i use ironing i print one whole model at a time. I do these when perfection REALLY matters👍
Ya I agree with that. I feel the least amount of directional changes in ironing the better. Rectilinear ironing gives you the best option for this. It was definitely an eye opener to see the results first hand and compare them.
@@bambamprintyeah in rectilinear when the path changes length it will change the looks (especially with words that are flush with the rest of the object)
@@TheHanutaXD haha you know after I published the video I remembered on my variable layer height video I spray painted the prints with a matte black so that it would show up better.

Thank you for doing these tests. They definitely help with my learning curve.
You're welcome. Apologies for the use of white filament. I plan on doing a follow-up video to fix my mistake with this. Glad to have you aboard!

Everything in this video can be done in the A1.
Have u made the advanced ironing video yet?
Hi,
Could the last test have been affected by the color switch?
The difference was unexpectedly significant compared to the third batch.
I had thought the same thing so I went ahead and printed the entire logo in white and it yielded the exact same issues.

Please make the advanced ironing video

You are absolutely right. Great tips I will make a note and include on my next video.
Seems like in general, Rectilinear is the way to go. Great video, I learned something new!

Did you ever make the advance ironing video?
Not yet, it is on my todo list!
Great test. Thankyou
you are welcome
Amazing video 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for the support! Have a great weekend.
Try using an actual iron.
Use low heat with wax paper.
Might work?
I'm sure it would work! Although that could be super awkward lol
Yeah I have an issue on complex top surfaces where there a different surface finneshes
Are you using the ironing feature?
@@bambamprintyeah in rectilinear when the path changes length it will change the looks (especially with words that are flush with the rest of the object)
decrease flow when ironing.
Yea that would be my thought for my follow up video. Thank you for the support! Have a great weekend!
@@bambamprintI would also suggest using a different color white is hard to see on video :/
