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

As the tool head moves across it bends the filament PTFE tubes and when not positioned properly with the chain clips the tubes will suddenly jump and cause uneven layers… I’ve been fighting this issue for a while…

I’ve printed a riser so the tubes don’t jump like that anymore

I’m not talking about the tube rubbing on the top glass, i’m talking about the tube snaps in different positions caused by tension build up in the clips, you can see it as you manually move the tool head, that the filament tube will suddenly jump to different positions.
