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
Traditional PA6-CF is still arguably a better choice as it has higher impact resistance and it’s cheaper. Dr Gaspar has great videos and is the best resource available on youtube, but you have to take some of his results with a grain of salt as he used to have constant troubles with layer adhesion in older videos when he was printing with open printers. And he doesn’t run all tests across the temperature range which sometimes might change the properties, uses very small sample sizes and sometimes doesn’t follow up on weird outliers.
