How to print PCTG+CF?
The following parameters are only suggested print settings for this material. To ensure the best print quality, it is necessary to choose the appropriate settings for a specific printer and printing conditions.
Nozzle Temperature | 250-270°C |
Bed Temperature | 90-110°C |
Closed chamber | not required |
Fan | 0-25% |
Flowrate | 90-100% |
Printing Speed | 35-60 mm/s |
Surface | masking tape, PVA glue, hairspray |
Retraction (direct) | 1-2 mm |
Retraction (bowden) | 3-5 mm |
Retraction Speed | 20-45 mm/s |
Drying conditions | 60°C / 4h |
Notes | The material has highly abrasive properties. We recommend the use of hardened steel or ruby nozzles. Due to the strong adhesion to the bed, it is not recommended to print directly on its surface or on glass. This can lead to damage. We recommend using a masking tape. |
