Is this pipe OK? (new construction)

I'm wrapping up construction of an ADU, and I recently noticed that this vertical copper pipe is embedded in the stucco, so paint couldn't get behind it, leaving raw stucco exposed. I'm concerned about water over time. My builder tells me it's fine (of course), but my construction-savvy friend tells me it's fucked and they need to redo the plumbing. Is this configuration OK, or should it be re-done? If it needs to be re-done, how would you do it?

New build. How did the stucco guys do? A+ to F-.

New construction, white stucco. Is this how it's supposed to look at night? Daytime is marginally better. I get that shallow angle lighting highlights imperfections, just looking to understand the magnitude of these ones. Thanks!

Build plate came down sideways after a successful print

Printed a small PETG part on Monday, right after it finished (flawlessly) it made a horrific loud noise and I looked over to see this. Any thoughts on how to approach a fix? I haven't tried to level or adjust it out of concern I'd make it worse. I emailed plus4support but haven't heard back yet. (Surprising, in the past they've gotten back to me next day every time).

I printed at least 10 parts in the previous week with no issues, and a few hundred over the past 1.5 years I've had the printer - it's been bulletproof until now. I greased the Z screws a month or so ago, and do so every few months along with the XY rods.
