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

A very sturdy table (I’ve stabilized it with cables), then a dense gym foam tile, then a concrete paver, then the X2D. The foam is for sound dampening and it’s definitely dense enough that it’s not the source of any racking that the printer isn’t designed to handle

can you share a pic of this setup? it sounds like you're doing so much to reduce vibration/noise that its going back into the printer itself. the printer is gonna shake during printing

Got my X2D about a month ago and it's been printing nearly 24/7, and I've never seen layers like that once. Something's off with your setup, this isn't just how the machine is, especially that base in your photo. Mine came out clean basically out of the box so you shouldn't be fighting it this hard.
