Really Bad Print Quality

[Bahubali28]

I was printing with my printer today and I noticed that my print quality is awful. 2 days ago I printed something and it came out how you would expect for a X1C. And yesterday I greased the lead screws cleaned the x and y axis bars and checked on the filament cutter. Then after I found out about the bad print quality I did a cold pull and tested no change. I also did a nozzle change no change. I am using PLA matte and the built in benchy model.

Thank you for your help.

P.S. I dried my filament before printing. And did not loosen the belts on the x and y axis.

Please provide photos and screenshots of the sliced model and settings.

Thats a lot of maintenance. Did you recalibrate your printer afterwards?

[Bahubali28]

It was the built in benchy with the normal pre print calibration. But here is some pictures

What kind of dryer and were you monitoring humidity in the drying chamber or weighing the filament to know it actually dried?

[Bahubali28]

No. But I was using the sunlu s2

[MZip]

Ah, it has a humidity readout. Did you catch what humidity it ultimately hit?

[MalcTheOracle]

That filament looks damp.

It is strange how the bottom portion of the Benchy looks OK though.

Do you have another filament you can try as a comparison?

It is strange how the bottom portion of the Benchy looks OK though.

I was looking at that too, Malc, but it looks like it may coincide with the layer where the nozzle isn’t printing continuously and is starting to jump between the various bits? It looks like it’s trying to smooth out again when it gets to the layers where it’s just printing the wheelhouse until it gets to the overhangs.

looks like cooling is borked too.

Gonna trademark that word, borked. Er…copyright.

[RocketSled]

Sorry. It’s already taken.

First known usage, 2002.

[johnfcooley]

I’m older than that. Pretty sure we used borked in the 80’s

Get off my lawn.

[RocketSled]

Hey, I’m just quoting Merriam Webster…

[johnfcooley]

I hate to say it they’re wrong. Pretty sure Robin Williams used it in his great TV show, Mork & Mindy.

If you lived in the basement during the 80’s and played that devil inspired game D&D (before it was cool) I seem to remember someone using it. We…I mean THEY had a language all their own. Someone here will back me up…

[RocketSled]

I go back further than that, and I’d be inclined to agree. Except: Merriam Webster.

Agreed. And I’ll take the copyleft…to make it fair.

[johnfcooley]

Wow, I borked that up didn’t I?
