Appreciate the info, Im still entirely new to 90% of these materials as I only have experience with standard PLA and PETG. I just pulled the trigger on a P1S so let the learning curve begin.

Filaments I’m starting with: Polymaker - PA6-CF, PLA Pro, and ASA Siraya Tech - PET-CF and PET-GF Overture - PLA Pro, TPU 95A

Ended up getting the AMS 2 combo with hardened steel nozzles and hotends. Im gonna just look around for an air fryer at local thrift stores as the Sunlu E2 seems to be the only filament dryer that can reach 90C+ and $360 for it is a bit insane.

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.

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

Well, that didn’t take long… They’ve got it out for you man.

How does the print quality compare between them, speeds, and how well do they handle CF Nylon and other engineering filaments?

So is the micro Swiss the better option? The hardened steel options from Bambu labs seem to be the cheapest, followed by BTT with theirs that is quick change, with the micro Swiss being the most expensive with the diamond tips.

Do you have a link to some of those prints? Im still leaning towards the P1S with AMS 2. What nozzle size are people tending to use with PA6-CF, 0.6mm? What brands of filament tend to work best? My knowledge up to this on the ender 3 was just PLA and PETG as I never had an enclosure to try nylon.

Appreciate the info, I guess I’ll look more into the AMS and see if it’s worth getting the combo or saving money with the bare printer and going another route with drying.

Any recommendations on the nozzle and gears? Also, is there a reason to get both the satin and cfx build plates if the cfx can handle the long range of filament types?

With X1plus, do you gain any noticeable improvement in print quality from the increased control? Cutting pre-print calibration in half sounds nice, but isn’t something alone I could justify the $$$ for. Do you have any recommendations for the AMS or AMS 2, or are you running a different dryer?

Also, as I see the name mentioned often, what are 300blkfde’s print settings? I see him mentioned all of the time, but his account, and I’m assuming a backup 300blkfde_New have both been nuked.
