I’m not done with the test but it’s clearly not going well. I got the X1C a few days ago and it printed fine the first few days but now all I get is horrible prints and stringing? I have an A1 and this same exact roll of filament prints beautifully on my A1. anyone know what the issue is? I don’t think it’s moist/wet filament.
I didn’t try this particular print on the A1 but other prints I chose “A1” or “X1 Carbon” when choosing to print it based on the printer and they were the same print with the same exact roll of filament yet it came out so messed up on the X1C. it was printing fine the first few days but now it’s all messed up.
That's weird because out of the box the x1c is a perfect printing printer, i think it's weird that it fails this easy test..
Maybe try some different settings for the temperature on the x1c and put the door open instead of closed.
If you have another spool of filament you may try that too. Hopefully you get better results then!
Was the 'smooth timelapse' on? It looks like it's only at one pole.
But it probably has to do with the retraction, you can increase the retraction length or change the retraction speed.
Fantastic test to be able to calibrate retractions, in my case they came out perfect the first time but it is appreciated that this test exists to be able to access it quickly and easily. I can't give it 5 stars because I had to stop printing because the piece came off right at the end, you can see in the right column that it has some errors
Bed Adhesion Issue:Use PP-CF without previously applying a glue
Maybe try to add a brim so it sticks a bit better to the printsurface ;)
Please note that the test was designed for PLA, not a difficult material like PP-CF, you may need to change the settings a bit for the chosen filament.
