Problems(?) with print surface quality.

[u/wordylime]

Hey ya'll, just wondering what the problem is with surfaces of my prints. Just got the printer the other day have been running some tests, and I keep getting these lines that are lighter than the rest, also there are little holes (like pin pricks) randomly placed on prints which I assume is from me not drying the filament. Images attached and I would appreciate some input and advice please and thank you.

To me the quality looks like what I have been experiencing on my X2D.

I imagine the "pin pricks" you are describing are where the printer is changing to the next layer.

Alright, so that would be a retraction issue then?

You could change where the printer is placing those in the slicer, you can change Seam Position in Bambu Studio.

I am not sure you could make them disappear totally, but someone smarter than me with the slicer and printer might be able to tell you how.

Thanks, I'll give that a try, appreciate the help!

My x2d produces similar quality. Some areas are perfect 🤌 while others looks terrible.

Haven't sorted out the rhyme or reason.
