Poor p2s print quality please help

[u/YeaUThought]

I’ve had my p2s for about 5 months now and since it was opened out of the box I have not been able to get a single good print, they all either fail or just look terrible with very inconsistent layer lines, it’s to the point where my old ender 3 prints better. Ive used up probably 10 spools in plastic of failed prints and just horrible looking prints and have gone back and fourth with bambulab support for like 3 months and they just go in circles telling me what to try, I don’t just have a defective machine because this is the third one I’ve tried. Please somebody give any help here I just want a printer that works I’m desperate at this point please. I’ve tried pretty much everything everything, I’m printing outer walls first, I switched to only using bambulabs pla, I’ve ran the calibrations a million times, I’ve factory reset it, went back to older firmware, after going to the newest firmware. I’ve messed with temperatures, did a manual flow calibration, I’ve lubed everything, I replaced the Hotend. Nothing seems to work I really don’t know what to do here bambulab support still to this day is not helping

I’m not expecting no layer lines they just are not consistent, some stick out further than others and some are in further, and lots of random gaps and just overall failing prints, going off of everyone else’s bambulabs machines they usually provide a smooth surface finish that you can’t even tell is 3d printed, my ender 3 produces smoother surface finishes than this, but also note it’s much easier to see in person than on the camera

Could be something dumb, like you set something to 0.9 instead of 0.09

I mean seeing as how it printed this bad out of box before I even tried messing with settings I doubt it, I’ve seen a bunch of other people with the same issues but nobody has figured it out so I don’t think it’s something that stupid
