Creality K1 Ironing Calibration Test (10–30% Flow / 10–30 mm/s) – Smooth Top Layer

Description:
This ironing calibration test is designed specifically for the Creality K1 to help you achieve clean, consistent top surfaces with minimal effort.

The model uses 25 mm diameter circles at 1 mm thickness, covering a full matrix of ironing flow (10–30%) and speed (10–30 mm/s). This allows you to quickly identify the best combination for your filament and printer setup.

Circular test shapes were chosen instead of squares because most real-world prints are not perfect squares. If your ironing settings perform well on curves, they will translate reliably to sharp edges, corners, and more complex geometry.

The included slicer profile has been pre-configured with optimized baseline ironing parameters. Once you find your ideal result, you only need to adjust ironing flow and speed while keeping everything else consistent.

Ideal for:

• Creality K1 users

• High-speed and standard printing profiles

• Achieving smooth, consistent top surfaces

Simple, fast, and effective—print once, dial it in, and reuse the settings across your future prints.

Slicer Compatibility:
This file is configured using OrcaSlicer, as it provides the most intuitive control for ironing calibration and fine-tuning.

While the model can be adapted to other slicers such as Bambu Studio, Creality Print, and PrusaSlicer, it is recommended to load and run this test in OrcaSlicer for the most consistent and accurate results.

Once you’ve identified your ideal ironing settings, they can be easily transferred to your slicer of choice.
