I'm just learning and have calibrated my new Bambu Lab P1P 3D Printer. I printed the built-in scraper—amazing quality.

But I downloaded this Stiga Ping Pong Table Feet

And printed this twice to get this result:

My next print job did the same:

It seemed like the part wasn't staying on the bottom and that was messing everything up.

Ideas? lessons learned?

  • one thing I did was slow down the speed by 50% on the second job – bonhoffer Sep 16 '23 at 04:36
  • Welcome to 3D printing - this kind of problem solving and the resulting success is a big part of why we do it. – Criggie Sep 16 '23 at 22:01
  • Slowing down is actually very well for getting it better to stick, but bed temperature and correct setup (enough squish on the first layer) are at least as important as well. – 0scar Sep 17 '23 at 08:28

Most probably this is caused by an adhesion problem. When the first layer doesn't stick well enough, this could be related to wrong bed temperature, incorrect distance between nozzle and bed, incorrect initial layer height and incorrect print temperature.

When the print detaches from the bed it will wander over the place creating blobs and spaghetti-like objects as shown in your images.
