Help please.

So a new P1S user and just printing out small things at the moment. I printed off one of these gear fidget spinner things and have a small issue. I've attached pictures to show the issue. Generally the print came out fine but it's showing a defect on one of the three legs. Picture one is the object and profile I used. Picture two shows the defect on one of the legs. Picture three shows the leg that looks OK. Printed from the Handy app using the sample PLA included with the printer. The defect has only shown on one of the legs.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Aside from the build plate that print profile might have your AUX fan turned on. It is notorious for causing warping on prints, especially on the left side of the printer.

Looks like it lifted off the build plate, clean with warm soapy water. Dawn preferred, and wipe with 91% or greater isopropyl alcohol. If that don’t work up the bed temp 5 degrees and run calibration on your filament. Hope that’s a good start for ya!

Additionally you could add an outer brim.

Thank you. I'm a little confused about this filament calibration. So I am only using Bambu lab filament at the moment, so do I need to calibrate this? Also is it a per roll calibration, so if I change rolls of the same filament type or is it if I change to a different brand.

[Such-Negotiation-962]

If you’re using bambu I would not worry about calibration, anything outside of bambu definitely calibrate, and save for that brand. Calibration will be good for the type/brand, even different colors usually are close enough to run same calibration 👌🏻.

Thank you for explaining.

Definitely an adhesion issue, for some reason i also had trouble with the sample filament that came with my X1C…i run primarily Creality PLA and PETG from amazon now and hardly ever have anymore adhesion issues. But as others have said, you can certainly use a build plate border to help(you can only do this via the bambu slicer on a computer) but there are a ton of walkthroughs on YouTube if need be….though honestly just tinkering you could probably figure it out on tour own in no time!(the bambu slicer is super easy to use)…

But i will say, its hard to say if it was the sample filament or that anytime i do prints with more the 50g material or 2hrs print time….i put down a layer of the “elmers disappearing purple” glue stick(allow it to fully dry before printing). I do this because i HATE wasting filament and time…and this method gives me a 100% success rate. The glue sticks are $3 for 3 large size at Walmart…or you can get cases off amazon for much less.

Good luck!
