How to Optimize Your Printing
Based on the properties of PETG-CF, it’s strongly recommended to consider the following tips to realize best performance:
1. Hardened Steel Nozzle
Carbon fiber filament may wear out the nozzle; use a hardened steel nozzle to avoid abrasion.
2. Seal with desiccant to prevent moisture and achieve ideal printing results.
3. Dry Your Filament
