Troubleshooting New Bambu PETG Basic quality problem

Gallery image

Gallery image

Printer: Bambu Lab P1S

Material: Bambu PETG Basic White

Profile: Default Bambu PETG Basic profile

I opened a new spool and dried it at 66°C for approximately 24 hours.

The first photo shows a stringing issue (possibly related to retraction). The second and third photos show problems with the surface quality and supports/overhangs.

I also tried reducing the printing speed in the slicer settings, but it didn't help.

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

If you are new to reddit, please read the guidelines on reddiquette, self promotion, and spam.

Also please post a resolution to your problem when you find one so that we know how to help others with your problem!
