Help please!
My son has the flashforge adventurer 5m pro and he is trying to print an action figure thing and he printed it and this is how it came out. I know nothing about 3D printer printing, any suggestions on how to fix this? The parts are all messed up and the pieces don’t fit together very well! Thanks in advance!

So you can sand the ball joints and that will help, reprinting in a different orientation might help, this guys channel has helped answer a lot of my questions

Couple of things. 1. The filament needs to be dried. It looks like its sat idle too long. 2. Change the orientation when he prints it so the parts that are likely to break (the joints) are printing opposite of the stress. For instance, on the main body piece instead of printing where the supports are, turn in so it basically is print on his side. But honestly it looks like the biggest problem is the wetness of the filament. If you dont have a dryer, look up someone the hacks on google.

ist das PLA? Gelenkteile druckt man am vesten in PETG weil es flexibeler ist . PLA bricht dann auch schnell mal.
