PA12 + CF printing issues

Hello everyone,

I am trying to print some PA12+CF (Adura X by add:north) and I get quite a lot of stringing as seen in the picture below. I dried the filament overnight before printing it, yet the result is the same. Perhaps some one of you is familiar with this imperfection and could be able to help? Print settings are following the add:north cheatsheet: https://addnorth.com/knowledge/articles/adura-prusaslicer-cheat-sheet

Thank you!

Polyamides and especially nylon are exremely moisture sensitive.  Despite drying it looks like your filament is still too wet - and that part is too big to print without using a drybox.  If you plan to print a lot of nylon you will need to source one but for the occasional use you might get away with improvising an enclosure to reduce air changes - 'though you may see print quality deteriorate during the run.  As a rough guide, you have about two hours printing with bone-dry nylon in the open air before moisture problems begin to show.

Cheerio,
