It has a serious case of ghosting/ringing and it also is unable to print the tip of a sword properly.

In my attempt to fix these it has only gotten worse as it now also has ugly edges, they look almost burned even though i llwered the temperature by one degree celsius.

I put a direct drive extruder on it, it was not printing succesfully when it was still bowden.

So far i've played around with the print speed a little, lowered the travel speed and printed some big corners pieces to make the frame more rigid.

It seems the slight layer shifting inconsistencies have gotten a bit better.

I think a large part of these issues come from the printer being so big and the weight of the direct drive extruder.

I haven't been able to upload a picture and have no clue how to do it, the ringing is basically all over and the top 10mm look like a little lighting ⚡️instead of a smooth pointy tip.
