Looking for good suggestions for suppressor materials. Currently I’ve just been using PLA+ which has worked, just didn’t know if PA6-CF or something infused would work better.

    Annealing isn’t for strength, it’s for heat tolerance. PET-CF, for example, increases its HDT from 80 °C to around 180 °C after annealing. Nylons see a less dramatic but still significant improvement. For frames and receivers that may be a don’t care, but for suppressors it’s a big deal.

      Oh wow I was not aware. Thanks for sharing. Might have to start annealing my cans.
