Hi all,

Long time community member here. Very sad to recently find out about the massive loss of information from the banning of fosscad, but before this I was trying to do some research and am hoping to get some information here if anyone has it on some of the newer filaments that I have seen recently and if any are worth picking up. I am just polishing off the last of my PAHT-CF and Polymaker nylon-GF spools, which have been incredible for my projects, and I’ve seen that polymaker has been releasing a lot of new filaments under the fiberon line and rebranding old ones. Are there any of these that are worth checking out and has anyone been done any up to date experimentation with some of these newer blends?

Thanks all, RIP r/fosscad

    I’ve been wanting to experiment more with different materials for non-impact parts like grips and what not. Otherwise I kinda just go with what others have put through substantially more testing than I have

      I’ve begun to do very similar things. I’ve started to use a combination of different materials for sifferent components to maximize the functionality or aesthetic appeal of each part. Most often I’ve used either PLA+ or nylon for frames and large pieces and PETG-CF for small internals like mag releases. I think from what people have mentioned here I want to try out some PPA-CF next though
