Print Quality of the X2D noticebaly worse than the A1

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased the X2D, on top of the A1 I've already owned for about 2 Years now. However, I'm unfortunately less than impressed by the quality of the prints so far, in particular the ones using a 0.2 Nozzle. It appears as if there are Extrusion and Retraction Issues with the Main Nozzle. The Layer Lines are significantly more visible on the X2D then they are on the A1 - and I'm not really sure why.

  1. I'm using the 0.2 Nozzle
  2. Yes, I have dried the Filament. The Filament used on the A1 is literally the same Ive used on the X2D and Vice Versa.
  3. I ran a full Calibration for Temperature, Flow Ratio and Pressure Advance
  4. Whether I'm running my own custom HQ Settings or the Stock Settings doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
  5. Calibration Cube came out fine, it seems that this issue applies to more complex geometry, which also makes it unlikely to be a Hardware Related Z-Wobble Issue.
  6. The Testprints have been primed so make the imperfections more visible.
  7. Both Prints are using a Layer Height of 0.06mm.

FDM Miniature Theory - EP 2: What makes a Model "Challenging" for your Printer?

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all doing well. This Video took a bit longer than I intended, which at this point I fear doesn't come as much of a surprise to my regular viewers. The Topic of "Composition Types" is fairly abstract, so I hope that the examples given in the video can help to remedy that. Had some technical issues with the Audio, I hope the Quality didn't suffer too much.

I also FINALLY received the replacement parts I need for my Bambu A1 - The Z-Lead Screws - Which I'll try to fix soon, hopefully getting rid of the Z-Banding I've been struggling with. You can actually see the Z-Banding on the Miniatures shown in the Video, which - given I wanted to highlight imperfections - was rather frustrating, as you can imagine. In the next episode I will cover the "Challenging Composition". As always, I love reading your comments and feedback and if there is anything you want to ask or add, tell us in the comment section :) Until next time - Take care, and have fun printing.

Currently reprinting this one at 200% Scale - The Torso alone took 70+ hours, but I just adore the Model. It's among my favourite Multi-Part Models, and will most certainly be featured in the upcoming "Complementary Composition" FDM Miniature Theory Episode.

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. This is the first Video that covers a somewhat Abstract Topic, and I hope you'll still find it useful. I'm still trying to improve the pacing and writing of the Script, as well as the overall production quality. Hopefully Future Parts will be a bit smoother. In this Video I talk about different Design Elements that can make a Model easier or more difficult to print, and why certain shapes - Such as Spheres - Can look significantly worse than others. In the next Episode, I want to examine different Models very closely to highlight just how much the different Composition Types can affect the final print. Hopefully my printer will be back and running soon enough. Until then - Take care everyone, and have fun printing!

I'd love to get some Feedback regarding the Video, and in particular the topic that I've covered. However, I also know that some of you are not huge on the Video-Format and prefer a written Guide instead. While this isn't a guide, I will work on a written Version as well that I'll post in the upcoming days.
