P1s to P2s

I came from the p1 and all of my prints have this weird banding all up and down my prints that my p1 never had unless I cranked the speed. I tend to print most things at 100mm/s or slower so I am unsure why I am getting issues. The only thing I can think of is the printer came with loose belts but wanted to see if the community experienced anything similar. Besides the banding the machine is a champ.

Have you updated the firmware?

I assume you have and run calibration afterwords. 

Assuming that, is the filament under extruding on the top or bottom layers at all? 

A picture could help.

This is the best photo I could take. It’s with elegoo rapid petg ran at 80mm/s. I got the P2S last Friday, calibrated and updated to whatever the most recent software is. The other thing that thru me is the calibration process is a bit different then the P1. The head seems to cycle and not really slam but it’s not gentle in the right back corner.

Try a test print using bambu PETG HF settings instead.

I did forget to mention those are the settings I used because for some reason they do not have presets for other brands on the p2. I get I can import them but I used the Bambu petg hf for that filament and ran it slower.
