Hoping someone has an idea on this!

I’ve been making little Disney trinkets for my wife to hand out when we go to Disneyland, and feedback has been positive enough that I thought I’d try a little Etsy store to make some filament money.

Initially I added it into my base template in TinkerCAD but it kept coming out real bad, so I’ve been trying adding the text within Creality Print, and usually it looks pretty good but it can be wildly inconsistent.
The top two are from a batch of five where I set one up and then duplicated it. The middle two are from a batch of eleven, all duplicated from the first five that looked nice, and then the bottom two are that same batch of five that I tried printing a second time and it turned out way worse.

Any idea on why it varies so much and what I could do to resolve it?

    Don’t forget about the possibility of bed warp, if your cover or bed is a little beat up it might be time for a few tests

      It’s a one month old printer so I hope it wouldn’t have that, but it’s so nice looking compared to my previous printer that I hadn’t thought about the fact it could have manufacture defects…

        I mean I could be wrong but if you want to be absolutely sure you can pick up a dial indicator for not more than $40 to test the surface
