Hey guys I got the bambu P1S a couple months ago because it was recommended. I’m super new to 3d printing. This is my first one. I’m not new to electronics or computers. I ran a few of the built in prints, a dinosaur puzzle and this scraping tool but both came out fuzzy and in poor build shape. What can cause this? Shaky table? Cold temps (the printer is in my insulated garage getting around 65 degrees at the moment inside)? Is the stock bed bad? The filament it came with bad?

Thanks for any advice.

    It’s ok, my dude. We all make simple mistakes like this. I’ve cost myself entire rolls of filament before. If you ever have any questions, give me a shout, I’ll give you a hand.

      Wow thank you. I’m home now, and I’ll swap the white one out for one of the other ones and see how that fares in making a print or 2. What do I do with the white one? Put it in the last slot? Does the machine know when to use the white one as a support?

      What would you consider is your favorite filament to work with? I’m thinking of splurging on a set off ebay. But at the same time, are discount filaments ok?

      And do you use a special plate? People have mentioned golden ones that are easier to bend to pop out the build? Mine just scraped off fairly easy. And I’ve read to use hairspray or windex to make it easier to pop off later.

      I’m sorry I’m asking a lot. I get a hang of things pretty quickly haha, so once I’m going on a system of what to buy and how to install it I’ll be good to go.
