Hey just wanted to share the settings I love for Esun PLA+ ironing on my X1 for 0.08mm layer height: Ironing speed: 150 mm/s Ironing flow: 38 % ( yes seems high, but at these speeds it works) Ironing line spacing: 0.2mm ( with my 0.4mm nozzle).
PLA (or PLA+) ironing settings suggestion : r/BambuLab
Well, I finished the experiment, and I resolved the waviness issue. The problem was with the line spacing; instead of 0.2, I tried 0.1 and the results were excellent. As for the flow, it appears to be smoother at 39% compared to 38%, but the difference is very subtle. The ‘flow’ at 37% starts to become rough, so I don’t recommend it.
