Help printing Polymaker PA12-CF
I have had trouble pinning down exactly what settings I need to get a solid accurate and clear print with Polymakers PA12-cf.
- - Hardened Steel 0.4mm nozzle
- - Constantly being dried in filament dryer
- - Always end up with stringing and zits on seams
I have messed with the Extrusion multiplier, max volumetric speed, temps, pressure equalizer temps, just can't get it to be good.
Any .3mf files with a test object or anything would help me so much. I just need someone to/ anyone to help give me solid print settings to print this dang filament with.
Thank you,

*High flow nozzle

Much larger diameter nozzle would help anything with fibres. 0.8 is awesome for practical prints--much better adhesion, fibres flow through it more consistently, and print times are really faster.

Try doubling the retraction in printer settings.
MK4S/MMU3

I'd try the retraction too. The Core One profiles seem to be quite optimistic about the needed retraction. I've had to almost double the length for all my different PLA and PETG rolls to get really clean retractions.

I have printed lots of this stuff. I dry it with their dryer. It will take 2 days to dry before it can be used as this dryer is not hot enough. Attempting to print earlier will result in ugly prints.
Retraction settings as per their website. Then calibrate the filament.
I also use the PA prusa sheet.
