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.

Ringing and ghosting usually indicate a vibration or movement issue. Have you checked the rollers, belts and all of those things on your X and Y axis and that they are tight? (but also not too tight)

I checked the rollers, didn't do that before and i'm running a test print atm. I had already checked the belts.

So, that test print...looks like goop in the shape of the object i tried to print. For some reason the printbed is also way too high now, the first 2 layers basically merged into the third. I'm back to square one it seems.
