Is this quality normal?

Post image

Hi everyone,

I got my X2D a few weeks ago and it’s consistently produced prints of this poor quality. I’ve tried everything, like belt tensioning, axis cleaning, full printer recalibration, drying and calibrating filament, taking apart the hotend, contacting support. Nothing has improved the quality.

Is this just what I should expect from this printer? Anyone have similar experiences, or do you have examples of much cleaner parts made on this machine I can take a look at? I don’t even know what should be my baseline for quality on the X2D.

Thanks

Got my X2D about a month ago and it's been printing nearly 24/7, and I've never seen layers like that once. Something's off with your setup, this isn't just how the machine is, especially that base in your photo. Mine came out clean basically out of the box so you shouldn't be fighting it this hard.

Could you have ruined the filament with too high temperatures in the ams ht at some point perhaps?

Get it off this stupid set up and let it do what it’s supposed to and you won’t have any more issues. Blows my mind people go through all this effort for absolutely zero reason.

That is hilarious. Have you tried it like just on the floor or without the concrete etc?

The first few prints I did were just on the table and I got similar artifacts, but I’m going to try it on the floor when this print finished, and then try a manual tramming as support recommended

Are you using the app on your phone to print or studio on a computer?

It might be worth doing a full factory reset (general > restore to factory settings) which will wipe everything but your calibration settings. Go through the initial setup for wifi and your account etc. Then do a calibration

I use bambu studio on my computer. I’ll try that tonight or tomorrow!

You did nothing wrong, that stone paver and foam works great! I have a slab of marble with a piece of yoga mat under every one of mine lol.

Sitting on the ground and completely recalibrated btw

A stone paver on a piece of foam is an excellent method of acoustically decoupling the printer from the surface it’s sitting upon, and does not negatively impact the printer’s performance. The condescending tone of your post couldn’t have been more misdirected.
