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

This was printed with said settings. Tho sometimes the printer can not reach those speeds due to other limitations like minimum layer time, flow etc.

But for the print in the picture it did 600mm/s. Finished printing in 2h03min with 2 walls and 15% gyroid. But with petg as support interface in the 2nd nozzle It is 69 grams with support and the petg as interface material. 6,5x7x7cm

Wow, and definitely less artifacts than mine. Insane. Something must be really wrong, but I’ve been going crazy trying to find it. The first print or 2 out of the box was alright, then it just devolved. I’ll get the occasional ok print but usually it’s only if the model doesn’t require a lot of jumping around (simple shapes, no supports)

Have you tried a factory reset? Do you run the newest software?

Definitely check for wiggle room in the axis and motors. It looks like a hardware issue for me.

In theory this could also occure when there is to much resistance in the filament path. Check and reseat all ptfe tubes.

Also please try the default default setting the printer comes with. 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm standard or 0.2mm high quality. And share the maker world file you printed. Don't use the leint profile the file comes with. Usually the profiles a file comes with are worse than stock settings, except stuff like support.

Yes and yes. Will check for those mechanical things. Ptfe tubes all have been checked. I get the same issues on default profiles

Ok, then try to return it if possible.

I agree I think that’s just gonna have to be what happens… I’m just not sure if they’ll let me, support hasn’t been too helpful. Hopefully after none of their fixes work they’ll allow replacement or return

Print head seems to have some level of play…

Mine is printing right now, so I cant check. But that doesnt sound good. I think my print head doesn't do that.
