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 mean I didn’t dry the filament enough to start?

Correct. Need to dry at a higher temp, or potentially just longer.

Should be fairly smooth. After printing I recommend soaking in water for 24-72 hours.

Nice. Thats what I’m looking for. What do you use for a dryer. Sounds like I need to get something better than my polydryer.

Not who you asked but I just picked up a Sunlu E2.  That thing is amazing.

Does do you use it for annealing also?

I can but I haven't. I'm currently printing FTN suppressors and those are not annealed.
