Posted · S5 print quality extremely low

Hi all,

I have an S5 with material station, the quality of the prints has degraded to the point where I've given up and bought a Bambu Lab.
I wanted to sell the S5 but no one wants this thing, so now I'm trying to figure out how to use it as a backup printer, but the print quality is still terrible. Is there anything I could check to improve it?
I even brought it to our service center in Taipei and they were not able to do anything which was surprising.

I suspect it has to do with the print head. I've had to shim the bearings as the head was wobbling. I'm not willing to fork over $500 USD for a new print head.

Thank you!

        In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
