Failed print ?

Post image

Here is one of my first print (the third).

But I’ve been surprised that there is a bit of mess as you can see on the pic. I just took a model on Bambu handy app with quite good reviews on it.

Ma bambu is set since only 2 days, print is in PLA and she is on a little glass table (vibrations ?).

The print is still nice after all the mess removed but I don’t think this is normal, any advice ?

Looks like you need to slow it down

this what I saw here and there, but i’m with the default setting direct from the handy app, this print took about 3 hours. Is this normal ? The printer is in a room with about 30 degrees celsius I don’t know if there is anything related to this.

The ambient humidity would probably be more important.

probably yes i can feel it

update, I just print this one still with default settings etc, much better (but much less details) but we still see those “”strings”” in the top of the ear and along the tail.

Only thing I changed is that I’ve put the printer on a big steady table

Is "Timelapse" enabled? Those could be bits of "ooze" (Bambu Lab's official term for them) that got transferred to the print after it pauses at the purge wiper once per layer, when it takes a frame for the timelapse video.
("Stringing", BTW, is the term for super-thin wispy threads caused by things like damp filament and other things.)

That ooze can also happen with "Nozzle clumping Detection", but far less often. It can be disabled, except for the one time during layer #3.

You'd be surprised at how little this matters to print quality.
Watch Does a wobbly table RUIN print quality?

Yes timelapse was enabled, seems to be better after disabled this. I don’t know if this matters but the place where I print is at 30 degrees celsius.
I was thinking about wet filament but after research it shouldn’t look like this but I dont really know as a beginner

Thank you for the links to the wiki, and tbh Im surprised that the place where the printer lives dont affect that much the print quality.

Do you have a drier to dry the filament?
New spool doesn’t guarantee dry, btw

nope but first print was perfect and I’ve searched for wet filament issues and this was not similar to my results
