Proud to share the new Fixed Ironing Angle feature in the released OrcaSlicer v2.3.2! Your posted makes of my maps and feedback inspired this.
I added this setting to make ironed top surfaces more uniform. This eliminates the "tiger striping" that may be undesirable on models with large flat surfaces where consecutive layers reflect light differently. Great for 3D printed maps and other prints where an ironed surface needs look even under bright light!
When the ironing angle is fixed (absolute angle): - Ironing angle is the same on every layer and does not alternate like top surface line direction - Ironed surface finish is more uniform - Ironed surfaces reflect light in the same direction - Ironing surface effect between adjacent layers is similar to Monotonic surface finishes because the lines are not offset
I know! I said I was busy in my last post 10 minutes ago, I contributed this feature last year but it's just become available to the public in the new 2.3.2 release!
