P1S upgrading to Carbon Fiber printability | 1/2

[@sebastian_olthuis]

Eh you should not put carbon fiber in your ams (those gears are not hardend) get a drying box next to it and use a PTFE splitter so the Bambu pulls it out of there

Drybox is better indeed but AMS can perfectly handle carbon fiber filaments. Before we had a drybox at work, we printed 24/7 PAHT-CF parts with the filament in de AMS without ever needing to replace a feeder and we still do it 😉

@@Creative_3DPrinting The ams can print it yes but it very bad for your ams. I have worked with the Bambu printers since the day the x1 released. The only supported carbon fiber Filament is Bambu carbon fiber Filament and not even all it I remember correctly. The reason some are okay is because of the extremely low amount of carbon fiber. Also 99% of carbon fiber filaments are weaker than pla due to how carbon fiber functions you would need a very specific part and settings. Even then you need continuous carbon fiber Filament which is quite expensive otherwise it won't make the part stronger.

​@@sebastian_olthuis The filament I use is compatible for the AMS (it was on the website) but as you said, it's better to use a drybox.

@@Creative_3DPrinting yes it can handle it. But it will require you replacing parts due to carbon fiber, being very abrasive.
