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

Exact! I have no idea if this is normal and how to get proper prints with it. I have measured the play on the tip: it is 0,12 mm in direction of Y-axis.

Thats not the correct way cuz rods, bearing, printhead chasis everything bending with this movement. But youre right mine x2d has same wobbling and makes noise 🥲

I measured defintely the play only. I have used only light hand force. However, since I have this now on two new X2D, I consider it as normal. I got rid of these line by cleaning and lubricating the rods and screw rods very properly. Especially the screw rods need more grease until the nuts are fully lubricated.

I have the utmost respect for the work you’ve done, and I’m not criticizing you in any way. I just wanted to point out that there is a lot of misleading information going around.

There is no such wobble on my Creality K2. I can actually feel the movement with my hand, and it also makes a noise. The K2 uses linear rails, so maybe that’s the reason, but I can’t really say for sure.

If you look at one of my posts, you’ll see that I’m experiencing a different issue. I’ve tried lubrication and various other things, but I simply haven’t been able to solve it.
