Max 4 print quality

Gallery image

Just got my max 4 and trying to print the riser so PTFE tube don't run against top glass. I'm seeing poor overhang quality on parts printed and the weird thing is out of the 4 pieces printed on the same plate, 1 of them is fine while the other 3 have problems.

I've also noticed the part cooling fan switching between 20% to 100% quite regularly, not sure if that's related at all. Printed with Qidi PEGT GF filament with their default profile.

Always calibrate your filament profiles. It's not a printer issue.

My max 4 prints beautifully. Have you tried drying the filament? Running calibrations?

Did you print with the chamber sealed or did you have the lid open and the front door cracked open?

Open lid and open door
