Z-calibration PACF

I need to print some parts in PACF (Nylon, Carbon fiber).
The materials-info clearly states that you should use an enclosure (check) and the Nylon-steel-sheet(check).

Now I would like to employ the Z-calibration .. but can not choose PA (=nylon) as type of filament in the menu.

I now use the PC-setting but this profile does not use the correct PA-temps.

Anyone any advice?

(I searched the forum before posting this question but the search-function seems not te be functionning?)

Don't use the inbuilt z calibration. Use something like this instead https://www.printables.com/model/105404 that you can reslice with whatever filament profile you choose. Plus you can test 8 live Z settings in one quick print.

I second fuchsr advice but, if you want to use the built-in z calibration, choose at random one type of filament, no matter which one. When the extruder/bed start heating, select 'tune' from the menu and change the target temperatures of bed and nozzle according to the PA profile.

some good advice.
I indeed found the info about the "stepped" calibrate-file.
