I've had my x1c for around 2 months now trying to get polymaker to print smoothly. I've had countless people from random fb pages try and help with no luck. This is what my benchys are coming out like with all stock settings on polylite setting . .4 nozzle and standard print speed. Any help is much appreciated since I'm just wasting filament 😭

My go to for any polymaker is the generic profile with a temp of 220 for polylite and 230 for polyterra. Give that a try and let us know.

Oh hey, that looks familiar! I had the same or at least an extremely similar looking issue with my X1C printing the PolyTerra matte in fossil grey. I found that the Benchy hull looked like that because it was curling, so the crux of the trouble for me turned out to be cooling.
I did all sorts of calibrations and tests, but the things that helped most with that were a longer minimum layer time (so I wasn't putting hot filament on top of hot filament) and taking the glass top off my printer (my PLA prints all suffer when the chamber temp gets into the upper 30s C and do best when it's in the lower 30s)

Valid point on the glass. I was guilty of it when starting but it is recommended to print with the lid off and door open when printing standard PLA.

Same, I completely missed that recommendation to begin with. Made a world of difference for me once I figured it out. I've got the wiki page about that bookmarked for quick reference now (https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/manual/compatibility-and-parameter-settings-of-filaments)

Thank you guys. Still has some funky layer lines but the hull looks 99% better. Lid off and part fan on 100

which profile are you using?
scarlet vine
Generic pla .12 layer height
@dusky current seems like everywhere there is a overhang there is a bad layer line

The bench’s isn’t a fair model to test imo. The main line is a “hull line” that is on most every model from any printer. The rest are just from speed itself.
Try a swatch truck from @terse jungle or a calibration cube to change it up with the same settings.

@dusky current where can I find the swatch truck. I'll give anything a shot

Looks decent, a little high on the flow?

@terse jungle man I wish I would have known about this print months ago. You are awesome for making this . I'm sick of these boats 🤣

That's a lot of plastic lol

@terse jungle and headaches. I'll read up on all the stuff this truck shows. As of the first one only the .3 wheel spins and ill play with flow rate in orca

If you have the newest version of orca slicer, play around with the shrinkage %. Wheels work well with PLA at ~99.9% and ABS at ~99.6%, YMMV

@terse jungle having a hard time getting my top layer much better then this. Also 99.9 for polylite won't get .1 to spin. I had to put in a little work to get .2 to spin

Flow looks high? Try reducing it
