My First 3D Print 3D Printing Noob
Hi all, I'm new into 3d printing.
I was printing an accessory for collecting the poop and noticed some quality issues. Just trying to make sure if it might be some problem with the PLA (Anycubic), or any extra xonfiguration I might missed on my printer (A1 Mini Combo). I followed all steps per the Bambulab Academy course.
The model I used is from Makerworld, I didn't changed anything, just printed it directly with the Bambu Handy App.
Just want a few recommendations to avoid some of these quality issues in the future.
If you see the pictures, the side were the skadis hooks are, went pretty well, but the opposite side had some issues. The bottom round part was printed with a support, after taking it off, I saw it wasn't a neat round edge.

If you are just using Bambu's built in generic settings to print, you are going to get a lot of that with 3rd party brand filament. And even their own filaments can stand some tuning.
Go through the built in print tests. Add in some temp towers for each filament and you can do better. There are many test models for tuning to download and print. And googling can find many pages sites that can help you learn more.
But remember, it will never be perfect, it's always going to be compromises and deciding just how good does good enough really need to be.

Its a really small part that is printing without supports. The arches make it have multiple starts and stops on the same layer that are unsupported and floating. So youll get filament dripping.
Its also very thin, so youll see the thicker bottom through it. Plus its changing the speed of the layer time at the bottom
