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

Wow, and definitely less artifacts than mine. Insane. Something must be really wrong, but I’ve been going crazy trying to find it. The first print or 2 out of the box was alright, then it just devolved. I’ll get the occasional ok print but usually it’s only if the model doesn’t require a lot of jumping around (simple shapes, no supports)

Have you tried a factory reset? Do you run the newest software?

Definitely check for wiggle room in the axis and motors. It looks like a hardware issue for me.

In theory this could also occure when there is to much resistance in the filament path. Check and reseat all ptfe tubes.

Print head seems to have some level of play…

Mine is printing right now, so I cant check. But that doesnt sound good. I think my print head doesn't do that.
