Hi folks. I obtained a pre-owned Anycubic Vyper. Alas, every print features defects in the surface as shown in the picture. It occurs in any type of material. Does anybody know the source of this type of defects?

I got results kinda like that before when I tried a Volcano on an old Bowden style printer and printing wet PETG… Tons of oozing.
Well, the PETG is brand new and I use a heated chamber for the filament, so I really hope this is not the case. But as the setup sits in a basement, I’ll try to check that, too.
Do not underestimate PETG’s moisture absodbage it can also get too wet (theoretically, personally hasn’t happened but I don’t keep my filament for long before printing) if it is even sealed as most bags aren’t 100% airtight IIRC.
That is true. That is why I bought that filament drying chamber. I’ll keep an eye on that.
Did you listen to it print? If it’s really wet sometimes you can hear a cracking sound as the moisture boils off. It causes little steam pops, which also result in that scrappy surface finish.
Yeah I keep an east on the print at times, but I don’t hear that noise. But I am aware of it from prior endeavors with wet filament
