Loved the video. It help me not waste money on the Carbon Fiber PLA. I print mostly in PETG for my workshop. They last roll of PLA I printed was about a year ago. My son did a school project with those hooks, PLA vs PETG. The Regular PLA was about 1/2 the strength of what you got but the PETG. He got up to 85 lbs before it snapped. I was surprised.

@@CrazyWillTechShow Overture. I looked at my Overture account and Amazon, I am on my 169 roll. I have gotten 3 other rolls from somewhere else and didn't like it. Currently have 10 rolls sitting here. I do allot of prints for outdoor and RC Car rims so clients I have. PLA will not cut it for my specific needs. 1. It is easier to dedicate a machine for it but you do not have to. 2. If you don't dedicate a machine you have to level for PETG. It does not like allot of squish. 3. I used a glass bed like you use for PLA but flipped over to the smooth side. 4. Use glue stick so you can remove the print otherwise you might/will have issues. 5. I have an Ender 3 Pro so I run it at 10c under the max rating. For Overture I run at 240c and 80c on the bed. 6. Control the temperature around the printer. I have a fan in the room so I have it in an glass case made from 2 Ikea tables and keep it around about 28c in there. At 32c I start having heat creep on long prints. Talking about the Ikea enclosure, I moved motherboard and controls outside the case. I love that this is like a center piece but I cannot get anything larger because it will not fit in my fancy enclosure.

There are two reasons to use CF PLA (or CF PetG) 1. Optics 2. If you want more stiffness (more for the PetG-CF then PLA CF because PLA is quite stiff anyway) Otherwise it's a pain in the ass: Tends to clogg the nozzle Need a 0.6 Nozzle For PLA CF additionally: I always had a real mess in and around the Hotend When I worked with PLA CF I disassembled my extruder 3 times and I even had to change the filament delivery gears because due to some hours of grinding on the filament it was worn. PetG CF worked better. The only thing that was not a problem was what everybody says: You need a hardened steel nozzle ! No, you don't You can print 1kg filament with one brass nozzle which costs about 1$. And after a roll of any CF Filament it does not matter to change the nozzle because it's time to disassemble and thourougly clean the hotend anyway. If I had not another roll of PLA-CF lying around I'd rather not use any CF Filament again. It only had one advantage: I know my printer now and can repair anything that might break. And I learned that assembling the heatbreak and the nozzle with cooper paste does wonder for constant heat in the nozzle and none excessive heat on the ptfa tube.
@Exstaz Жыл бұрын
When using a hardened nozzle you would need to add 10c. 220c are 210c in reality. My experience with cf filament are that they like to print hot. I print cf pla at 235c and with way less cooling then regular PLA. So I thing you need to raise the temps and lower the cooling to better the results.

I wish that I could continue with printing with 25% Carbon Fiber %75 Nylon but my Neptune 4 Max has issues with the heat-bed maintaining 80-90 Celsius before throwing a klipper software error and I have the latest from Elegoo. I was very impressed with the flex that nylon offers along with layer adhesion but that added strength of carbon fiber gave something way more than regular PLA but with that it requires more, so PLA+ seems to be the route for now

@dbcustomrc5 ай бұрын
Heat resistance is major. Does the CF resist warping? Does the CF resist crushing? Does it perform better under stresses around connection points? Did you go back and try with an increase in print temps to try and improve line adhesion? Too many variables not explored.

To be printed ,carbons fibers has to be so small that it does not help with strenght to much in fact it even has a tendency to add points of failure ,in the other hand it really help with friction carbon is a really good lubricant so if you have two pieces that need to slide or rotate in one an other it is the way to go, i personaly bought pla carbon fiber for a big projet where i needed both adpect sttenght and limited friction but it gave out on strengh so i came back to pla + Nice video btw

@ralphlongo197510 ай бұрын
I know we are a while out from this video, but im pretty sure the carbon fiber actually helps with stiffness vs strength. Stiffer materials tend to be less strong, so any carbon fiber material should have less strength over its non carbon fiber counterpart. The reason they use them in car stuff is because cars need more stiffness, and they get the strength by adding a ton of thickness. It's lighter because they need less of it for the desired stiffness, it is ultimately less durable/strong than fiberglass though.
