Has anyone used CF-ASA? What settings did you use?
Hello
I have a project I'm tinkering with and I printed it in ASA on my Core One with the Prusa textured sheet. I printed a model first using a .04 (high flow) and then a regular .06 nozzle. Obviously the .06 printed quicker; quality was good, so i'm sticking with .06. I used the Prusament ASA settings in PrusaSlicer.
I ran out of the regular ASA, so I bought a spool of Polymaker Fiberon ASA-CF08 Black Carbon filament. And yes, I have a hardened .06 nozzle for this. This stuff is a little pricey and I would rather not waste too much of it. Has anyone printed with this type filament and if you have, what settings did you use?
I don't see many settings in PrusaSlicer for ASA; the one I used is the Prusament ASA and it worked, however since this has carbon fiber, is there something I need to be aware of? I've never printed anything with carbon fiber in it, so this is unchartered territory for me. Any suggestions from somebody that has used this type of filament would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
RE:
If you are printing functional parts, my advice on new filaments (and even ones with existing profiles) is to run the temperature, shrinkage and flow calibration tests. I use OrcaSlicer for this since the tests can be run directly from the slicer via the Calibration menu.
If you are printing fidget spinners, gridfinity boxes and dragons then you could probably just pick a generic ASA profile and perhaps tweak it slightly.
