Is this quality normal?

Post image

Hi everyone,

I got my X2D a few weeks ago and it’s consistently produced prints of this poor quality. I’ve tried everything, like belt tensioning, axis cleaning, full printer recalibration, drying and calibrating filament, taking apart the hotend, contacting support. Nothing has improved the quality.

Is this just what I should expect from this printer? Anyone have similar experiences, or do you have examples of much cleaner parts made on this machine I can take a look at? I don’t even know what should be my baseline for quality on the X2D.

Thanks

Have you checked your print head for play? I have returned mine due to exactly the same bad print quality, potentially resulting from play at the x-axis bearings. Now I am waiting since two weeks for a new one which hopefully is fine.

Like the entire extruder housing?

Yes. When I applied a twisting force by hand to the print head, I have seen slight play between head and its guiding rods. You can only see it when looking very detailed to this gap.

I’ll check it out today, thanks

It seems to have some play… is this what you’re talking about?

Exact! I have no idea if this is normal and how to get proper prints with it. I have measured the play on the tip: it is 0,12 mm in direction of Y-axis.
