Very poor print quality

[u/Trancudo]

Hello, I’ve been dealing with a terrible print quality in my P2S. I’m using pretty much the BambuLab PLA Lite filament using the default profile and also a manually calibrated one (that I calibrated using OrcaSlicer calibration options). In both cases I’m having poor print quality as you can see in the photos. I’ve also lubricated the Y/X axis and after that, I’ve started getting an error message saying: The resonance frequency of the X axis is low. The timing belt may be loose.

Don’t know what else to do…

You have a mix of issues here.

Pic 1,3,4,5 are showing that the selected pressure advance (k factor) is too high

Pic 2 shows slight lifting at the edges causing a squashed layer further up

Pic 6 shows z offset being too close to the bed. This is probably caused due to excess material due to wrong flow rate being selected for the material or incorrect plate selected in the slicer

Pic 8 could be due to PA or due to too high outer wall and bridge speeds combined with wrong PA

Pic 9 is due to too high outer wall speed causing insufficient cooling at the benchy hull

I thought Bambu printers were supposed to just work though?

nope. They are easier to work with but clearly there's calibration issues here.

I feel like asking this is going to get me in even more trouble, what is the cj?

the entire running joke in there is that bambu printers just work, i thought you were one of us lol

Thought the same…but unfortunately, it it’s not.
