<p>I acquired an Anycubic Chiron yesterday. I went through the leveling procedure and I think the level test print came out okay so I printed a 20&nbsp;mm calibration cube and a benchy. Both of these came out with a sort of spongy consistency.</p>

<p>I have no idea what could be causing this so some advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>I'm using Ultimaker Cura 4.0.0 and printing in PLA.</p>
