PPA-CF vs PA6-CF?

Does anyone have experience printing PPA-CF and PA6-CF? I had read that “PPA-CF is 48% stronger” than PA6 if you get good layer adhesion, but I’m seeing conflicting info regarding impact resistance. Anyone have input who’s printed and used both?

            They for sure have it out for me, but Im going on 2 days now and still haven’t been Banned yet lol. It just has me limited because I don’t have much Karma yet and it takes Karma to comment or else it restricts me to one comment every 10 mins and if I try to in that length of time it will tell me to take a break lol.

              I was confused then, I just tried looking up the Bravo0016 account earlier and it said the user has been banned.

                  It’s definitely odd, but at least you can use the account.

                  Out of curiosity, how are you drying nylons and keeping them dried in storage? I’m about to pick up a P1S and have your settings saved, mainly looking at PA6-CF and PET-GF initially. I’ve seen lots of suggestions for drying, ranging from a goodwill airfryer up to a vacuum chamber. Im looking at the Sunlu E2 as it can reach 110C to be used for annealing as well, but $360 is a bit steep for it.

                  Also, with the finished PA6-CF being susceptible to moisture and losing some of its strength, do you ever seal it, or is it strong enough over time without needing to? I was wondering if cerakote would be a good choice for keeping moisture out, but I haven’t found much on the topic.

                    At 5% moisture content (about as high as you’ll get unless the part is literally submerged), Polymaker PA6-CF still has 50% more tensile strength and 165% more impact strength than their PLA Pro. Layer adhesion is weaker (63%) and stiffness is slightly lower (85%). Most designs that will work in PLA+/PLA Pro will work fine in moisture conditioned PA6-CF.

                    Coatings like Cerakote can slow moisture absorption, but when you consider the cost and effort, you’re far better off just printing in something like PPA-CF.

            Yeah it is, Dude and Reddit had it out for me. I created 4 back to back accounts and all were banned within an hour of creating until I had a buddy tell me to use a device that3 I haven’t used before and use a VPN and that worked. I still can’t comment much yet because I don’t have any Karma yet so it only allows for 1 comment every 10 mins or it flags me. But I will take some pics of a few builds I never posted on my old accounts and that will get me me some Karma once I start getting some likes. Reddit is set up to flag new accounts that comment and post a lot as spam so It limits you.

              Damn! I think I read something about another person getting their account banned for sharing a discord link. Something crazy going on with all of this, but hey, you’re here now!
