Is your feature request related to a problem?

When ironing at low volumetric flow rates, nozzle clogs / extruder jams are common and quality could be better.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

To achieve the smoothest ironing possible, Orca should have a checkbox named, "disable cooling fans while ironing" to allow the filament to stay warm and flow into the crevices of the top surface. This will provide a benefit to all users, regardless of the nozzle size selected.

Disabling cooling while ironing is also important because when you're ironing, your volumetric flow rate is extremely low and excessive cooling air can cause a clog by flashing the filament solid after it leaves the tip.

This is a common problem when ironing with a 0.2 nozzle: 0.06 layer height x 0.22 line width x 30 mm/s x 30% ironing flow = 0.1188 mm3 /s. Experimentally, I have found that printing below 0.20-0.25 mm3 /s guarantees a clog followed by extruder jam on the Bambu P1S if you don't catch it in time. Manually reducing airflow can help prevent this, but it is not always possible to be available when a print begins ironing.

Describe alternatives you've considered
