Glad I’m not the only one because I feel like I’m going crazy.
Print quality in general is quite far off the X1C. I know one is a budget printer and one is a flagship, but I think the quality gap can be reduced. A heap of ringing on the A1 compared to the X1C when printing the same model is another example.
Something weird that I found was running the flow calibration on a specific silk PLA filament calibrated with my X1C. It has a flow ratio of 0.96. The exact same filament calibrated on the A1 Mini shows around -15 being the best flow during the test, meaning the ratio is around 0.82. Seems like a massive discrepancy? I’ve run it multiple times with the same results.
I’ve calibrated 50+ filaments on the X1C and never seen below around 0.95. And being the exact same filament (literally the same roll) being 0.82 is odd which makes me think something else is at play here?
An actual print of this flow level had pretty ordinary results. Definitely not an improvement from using 0.96 on the A1.
