Comment on Creality K1 Max Curves Surface Issue

have you checked belt tension to make sure it’s not too tight or too loose?
Either or could be introducing artifacts.
After that, I would look for anything in the mechanical system that could introduce slop.
if the machine is nice and mechanically well tuned, I would consider running a quick temp tower to verify that you’re printing at the right temperature. if it’s not that, I would blame the slicer.
that said, do the net cups fit? they don’t have to be pretty.
My brother was trying to print these, and kept having problems using cura; where the corners of the net-hole-thingies caused slicing artifacts and under extrusion. I could never talk him into trying the fuzzy-skin-spiral-mode alternative i came up with. (fuzzy skin is a random “experimental” feature that I found makes for a great mesh filter when printed in spiral.) (i mean I can’t even get him to give up cura for prusaslicer)

Thanks for your reply, to your point yes they still fit, been having this issues for a bit now as I’m up to about 40 of these netcups and the associated other pieces for the grow towers.
I think the belts are good, but will double check.

to clarify, other parts that aren’t related to the model, do they print fine? or is it just these pairs of models?
it could be the mesh you’re dealing with is corrupted.

Good point, I have mainly been printing these items for the hydroponic tower. I do have other versions that I can check. I think after this set prints I will add some basic shapes in different orientations to see if there is issues still.
That being said I did print some other items that were stacked and each one is much thinner but there are no artifacts on the outer walls.

Could try rotating the model 90°. If the issues remain in the same location, you’ll know it’s a printer issue, maybe due to the size of the radius.
