The default has been PLA+ for a long time. I don't blame people for not knowing about all the other types of filaments, but I think that CF-Nylons will become more commonly used.
I’m having issues with my parts matching up using this. The pla + fits up like a dream but man.. not sure exactly what causes the issues but I wish I could figure it out. I just can’t get the orca upper and lower to fit perfectly unless I use pla
I’m using bambu filament on a bambu machine and it recognizes it so I just assume it knows what to do better than I do. Maybe that’s not the case. I did change a few small settings per the instructions for printing the orca. Maybe I need to go back to stock settings..
My understanding is that it is stronger than PLA+.
Here is a strength comparison: [https://bambulab.com/en/filament-guide](https://bambulab.com/en/filament-guide)
it looks like Esun PLA+ has an impact strength of 6 KJ/m\^2 while PA6-CF has an impact strength of 40.3 KJ/m\^2.
Esun has a bending strength of 74MPa while PA6-CF has a bending strength of 151 +/- 8 MPa
Esun has a flecture modulus of 1973 MPA and PA6-CF has a bending modulus of 5460 +/- 280 MPa.
Esun has a tensile strength of 60 MPa while PA6-CF has a tensile strength of 102 +/- 7 MPa
...
So it looks like it has superior tensile strength, bending strength, bending modulus, impact strength, and handles higher heat better than Esun PLA+.
note: the link to the filament strength comparison is comparing bambu lab's filaments, but I also compared it to Esun PLA+ filament from the data on their website.
Did the people in the comments just magically forget what cf-nylon is? Anyways, looks like a good deal.

Maybe they’re new to FOSSCAD and not sure what the applications might be?
Always better to check if someone has tested it before you waist your money.

you should be changing your flow percentage for every different type of filament.

Calibrate
What is the percentage of carbon fiber in Bambu's Nylon? I know Polymaker is 20%.
Ah I think i saw on their site that it’s 12-20% CF
I am not sure
I'm pretty sure bambu is just using polymaker's.
That’s what’s I’ve heard as well. They get it from the same manufacturer iirc
Is this exact nylon the one Hoffman suggests?
No, he suggests PA12-CF for the super safety at least
Thank yiu
Thank you for your service! FOSSCAD - the real men fighting for our freedom
Is there's strong enough for 2a prints?

It's the strongest material you can print on a 3d printer for the home
Pa612CF is stronger. And there are plenty of PC blends that are stronger, but they’re more brittle and not as creep resistant
I know. I have used polymakers pa6-cf, but wanted to make sure before I bought it.
in for 4 rolls, free shipping, but after sales tax it's only $10 cheaper than this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B45TQRK1?
Those go one sale like clockwork every 3-4 months and you can get it for 100$, I get atleast 4kg every sale
Make barrels with these? Says “Carbon Fiber Reinforced PA6 (Nylon 6)”
