I've just started printing with CF-PLA. I have clogged several .4, I use .6 now because I don't like the clogging issues and CF PLA doesn't show layer lines. And absolutely, hardened nozzles are not an optional thing. Make sure you get hardened.
@@WhereNerdyisCool I've only been printing since Feb 23. I absolutely love the CF PLA stuff, it's been a learning curve for sure. Thanks for doing videos like this. I'm always thrilled to try new filament, especially CF stuff. I'm just printing it for looks. I have an X1C with AMS units and the colors CF stuff looks so good.
Sorry I'm asking the same question but I'm blind and designing a EPC (Electric Pedal Car). Do you know a company that could 3D print the car body? I don't care if it's one piece or 50. 😁🤗😏
Have you done any strength tests with this filament? I've tried a couple spools of this and can't find good settings for layer adhesion. I've been using the golem 3D power test.
Check out Polymaker’s website. I can’t link it at the moment but the have a Materials Comparison for all their stuff. You can sort by a variety of parameters like strength modulus, temperature resistance and more. They’ve done all the lab testing for you! For something like what you’re talking about, I don’t think PLA would be the way to go
From my little experience, CF PLA is usually 5% finely ground/ chopped unless otherwise stated. Again, that's from limited as I've just started printing with the stuff. It's lots of fun and the colored stuff looks absolutely amazing.
You are doing great ☺️ Just keep doing it 😊

Great point. I have the same advice for any filled materials, such as the various wood PLAs that are out there. Great pun!

I haven’t. I’ve found CF PLA about the same strength as regular PLA, but with a nice matte finish
@@WhereNerdyisCool do you recall what your settings were other than what you mentioned in your video?
Would you suggest PLA-CF for building a robotic vehicle with an arm wieghing 100lb or more ?

@@WhereNerdyisCool thanks!

Is it chopped fibre or powdered CF?
That’s a great question for Eryone since it does say which
