Abstract:The roughness of 3D‐printed surfaces poses a challenge when integrating fused filament fabrication (FFF) printing with printed electronics, leading to inconsistencies and breaks in the circuit traces. To improve the surface roughness, we propose an ironing toolpath. The ironing toolpath involves the hot nozzle going over the printed surface with finer line spacing, remelting the surface to fill gaps, and creating a smooth finish. For further optimization, various ironing parameters are investigated including f… Show more
