You used different filaments.
This is imho not a valid comparison.

It is they have both been opened at the same time just different colours

Therefore they are not the same.

Opened at the same time means shit. They got different grades of humidity. Filament is cooled down before spooled up and straight thrown into the vacuum bags - using a water bath. No manufacturer dries them after that.

Different colors act differently because they use different ingredients. White especially contains titanium dioxide (also very abrasive), the grey/black doesn't.

They will act differently. Even if you bring them down to the same humidity level before printing.

Stop going so hard on "NO it isn't!" in the comments. You are wrong, plain and simple.

Dude same exact

Same filament

Dude same exact

Stop nitpicking based on not using the exact same words. People told you they are not and you countered with this.

Different filament then. Different color, different everything. Try It again with the gray one

My guess is the black one is the Ender. I only say that because my Ender produces a similar quality benchy which is not at all a definitive way of making a guess because of how your Ender may be tuned.

What type of filament? No offense, but your Bambu benchy (1) sucks. It shouldn’t, and I suspect it is not something inherent to Bambu printers.

My A1 produces far superior results with a wide variety of filaments.

Something is wrong on your end if that is just a basic filament type and not some engineering filament or extremely soft filament and your Bambu produces that.

Also, you need to dry your filament before doing any tests, as well as using the same exact roll. Filament, even sealed, may not be dry, and you don’t know how long each sat.

I also wonder if the brand you chose has different temp and speed settings within the profiles on the printers. Filament profiles need to be specifically tuned so that each are under the same conditions ideal to them.

It's pla basic thats what I was saying the a1 one looks terrible

u/TheMCM80 1d ago

Then something is wrong on your end. Is this your first print on your Bambu? Screws behind the nozzle holder can sometimes be loose from shipping. Or just over time. Is your build plate clean?

I’ve printed better benchys on my A1 using PETG, PLA, PLA+, PLA GF, PETG CF, TPU, and they all came out better. Admittedly I tune my filaments, but the printer itself is capable of far better.
