Hi, new to owning a 3D printer but used them a small amount over the years.
I have the P1S, new out of box and haven’t seen it do a single print without artifacts.
I know imperfections are part of the course but I’m wondering is this user error or faulty product?
Started with the typical Benchy and the hull had issues.
From what I understand this is common with this model?
Change speeds to see the printer limits and how it impacts quality but even 50% there was minimal artifact reduction.
Photo order, Benchy normal, silent and ludicrous.
I then attempted another model, the whale.
Sadly the under extrusion issue increased the bigger the model.
There’s also what I assume are temp spots where the plastic temperature has varied?
Note, ignore the messy underside of whale, was not there to remove supports at the optimal time.
Photo order, whale left, right, top and underside (for tail)
Defaults used in Bambu Studio for STL (other than filament set to match)
The default temp (220c) was bumped to 240 for a Benchy which made zero difference.
I’m not going to pretend I have the answers, why I’m asking the more experienced.
Would like to know if this is user error or printer malfunction so I’m not wasting time to find out it needs to be returned.
Please ask if more information is needed.
Mind exploding, I’ve checked the sample filament and it’s label ‘white’.
The RFID system lists it as ‘Bambu PLA Matte’.
I know the samples are random but I didn’t see silk anywhere.
Also, isn’t the point of using their filament the convenience of RFID preset sync?
I have bed and flow calibration on for each print.
I got filament from them for the RFID convenience, just haven’t wanted to begin wasting that when I haven’t even got the Benchy to print right .
I can only speak to my experience but those anti-vibration feet that Bambu sells were removed within a day or so of installation on my P1S
IMO they are too soft and too tall and entire printer rocks when the toolhead makes a substantial move.
Don’t know if this is the case for you but in my case I bought the anti-vibration feet when I bought the printer.
Don’t address problems based on past experience with a different printer.
Thankfully I kept my stock feet and no joke, 2 days after putting on anti-vibration feet, I removed them and trew them away.
That’s great.
Just a note, just opened filament can be damp as well, although PLA takes quite a bit. So you know now what to look for in damp filament.
