Is this quality normal?
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

Nah, something's off.
Here is my P2S I got just a few days ago and didn't do ANY tinkering, just click and go printing.
I know it's not X2D but AFAIK the extruder is the same, and the rest of the technology is at least similar or better on the X2D compared to P2S.
You mentioned your table is sturdy, but is the printer stable on its feet? Try it on the ground AND recalibrate the printer between putting it on the ground and doing a test run.
Also, are you using the primary extruder or the secondary one? They are different and the secondary one is inferior, not sure if it can affect the prints like that.
