Hey guys I got the bambu P1S a couple months ago because it was recommended. I'm super new to 3d printing. This is my first one. I'm not new to electronics or computers. I ran a few of the built in prints, a dinosaur puzzle and this scraping tool but both came out fuzzy and in poor build shape. What can cause this? Shaky table? Cold temps (the printer is in my insulated garage getting around 65 degrees at the moment inside)? Is the stock bed bad? The filament it came with bad?

Thanks for any advice.

Does that have a built in filament dryer? I know 90% of my issues are solved by drying my filament

I was using structural filament, used for breaking prints apart. Once I switched to the regular PLA everything went fine.

I'm not sure about a filament dryer. I'm sure the P1S comes with something robust.
