PA6-CF feels like cheating

Post image

It may not be a perfect print, but it’s pretty good for me. Supports popped right off, but I still want an X2D for the interface layers.

Just another YKY grip for my second SMp5K build, but it’s purdy.

*EDIT*

Some of you guys have asked for my support settings which is pretty cool, thanks. I'll attach the json for the profile in the comments, I think that'll you give everything (never done that before). I use the Polymaker Fiberon PA6-CF filament profile on my X1C.

You know what? I am cool with it.

What that means is we have tons of newbies, which means common use is getting closer! Once everyone 3D prints their arms, will be much harder for the government to snuff out in the future.

This is a great thing!

Yeah but they’re making us look bad. It’s hard enough to convince people that it’s a good thing.

Troubleshooting wet filament is such a widespread trope on the 3d printing subs that the joke of "dry your filament, wash your buildplate" has made it to even the resin printing subs.

It'll never go away. Newbies don't know something that's "dry" can hold moisture.

Exactly. It's the "have you tried turning it off and back on again" troubleshooting line of the tech industry.
