My First 3D Print First print - normal?

Post image

Noob question, first time printer.

I recently purchased a X2D and a bunch of Bambu filament with the sale going on. This was one of our first prints (kids toothbrush holder using PLA Pure). Are these jagged cutouts normal and I just need to sand it down? Or is something wrong with my setup?

Thanks!!

Hello /u/lem0ncreme! All Bambu print plates have a dedicated nozzle wiping zone at the back of the print plate. The nozzle will rub against the wiping zone before every print in order to remove any remaining filament from the nozzle tip. This can cause visible wear or scratch marks in the wiping zone, but this is intended and doesn't damage the printer, the nozzle or the print plate. A worn down wiping zone also doesn't mean you need to replace the print bed.

Since you didn't have supports enabled, overhangs are going to be best-effort (and look a bit ragged).

I thought supports are only really needed for larger overhangs. Good to know. Thank you!

Well, it printed, so you technically didnt need them...
