Printing supports in PC blend Carbon Fiber?

I have a stock MK3S and have bought some Prusament PC blend carbon fiber filament for a particular project. How is printing supports with this filament? I haven't been able to find any information on this. Is this filament suitable for printing with supports?

I have printed some small parts that needed supports with that material. I used organic supports and they came off very easily and cleanly.

RE: Printing supports in PC blend Carbon Fiber?

My experience is different from Walter's. I've printed all the plastic parts of a LACK enclosure with PC-CF (to match the printer for which I've used PC-CF parts). I felt that the supports were more difficult to remove than PETG (same settings for supports). Also, on this and other projects I found PC-CF's bridging behavior to be significantly worse than PETG or PLA. But hey, aside from the bridges, PC-CF looks absolutely gorgeous 🙂

RE:

I guess it depends on the model. I printed this LoveBoard Cover With Nozzle Swap Hinge, the version with the integrated X-Carriage back and the hinge part needs supports.

Also this model here:


And I absolutely agree on the statement about the gorgeous look of the parts! 🙂
