I was wondering if there is consensus in the community on the PA6-CF printing temperature. Manufacturers seem to cap at 300 (280-300 range). There is a user on other resource advocating for 320c for printing Fiberon PA6-CF citing good layer adhesion. How much merit does this theory actually have ?

Is there a limit after which temperature become detrimental ? Doing some quick searches looks like injection molding of nylon is using standard 280-300c temperature so that leads me to believe that printing hot may not be a good idea unless we do actual layer adhesion tests and not just “it looks better”

    Thank you. That was my gist as well, I think Hoffman test proves a simple fact “hotter not necessarily better” anybody stating otherwise needs to prove with tensile test print in Z direction.
