Yo guy noob here,
I have recently bought my self a sidewinder x2 as my first 3d printed, and I don’t know much about 3d printing for now, anyway to get a good understanding on how great I have calibrated the printer I have printed the usual benchy, but I have this spots on the print
(can’t embedded any images because of the lemmyshitpost drama)
Are they normal? And if not how can I fix them?
As the other use said, this is the Z seam and is pretty normal. If you look at the preview in your slicer, you’ll be able to see where they’re oriented. One trick is to rotate the part in the slicer so that the seam gets put in a hidden area or on a corner. In Cura, the Z seam will be the white dots on the print in the preview window and the default setting puts them closest to the back corner of the bed.
Once you get more experience and comfortability, you can mess around with these settings in Cura (like coasting, retractions, etc) or setup something like Klipper with Input Shaping.
🫶 Thank you for the answer
