Preparing for Printing
| Drying | 70-80°C for 4-6 hours |
| Recommended Build Surface | PEI or coat with PVP glue stick |
| Enclosure | Not mandatory, but it is recommended |
| Nozzle Diameter | 0.4 mm or larger |
| Nozzle material | Carbon hardened, hardened steel or higher grade nozzles |
*Note:
- Only dry if the filament shows signs of moisture.
- Drying is not required for the first unpacking unless the vacuum packing becomes damp. Excessive drying can degrade the filament.
Printing with PETG-CF
| Nozzle Temperature | 220-250°C |
| Build Plate Temperature | 70°C |
| Raft Separation Distance | 1-5 mm |
| Cooling Fan Speed | 0-30% |
| Print Speed | 50-700mm (Magneto X) |
| Retraction Distance | 1-5 mm |
| Retraction Speed | 1800-3600 mm/min |
*Note:
- Printing speeds: Start at the lower end of this range and gradually increase the speed to find the optimal setting.
Moisture Management
| Storage Tip | Recommendation |
| Sealed Packaging | Keep in an airtight aluminum foil bag to protect against moisture. |
| Use Desiccants | Include desiccants to absorb moisture and maintain dryness. |
| Avoid Sunlight & Heat | Keep away from direct sunlight and high temperatures to prevent degradation. |
| Drying | Recommendation |
| Temp | 70-80°C |
| Time | 4-6 hours |
*Note:
- Only dry if filament shows signs of moisture.
- Drying is not required for the first unpacking unless the vacuum packing becomes damp. Excessive drying can degrade the filament.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Issue | Stringing |
| Reason |
1. Printing temperature is too high 2. Retraction setting is improper |
| Solution |
1. Reduce the printing temperature by 5-10℃. 2. Increase the retraction distance and speed to effectively pull the filament away from the nozzle |
| Issue | Popping sounds and poor surface quality |
| Reason | Moisture Impact: Damp filament can cause bubbles or popping sounds during extrusion as moisture evaporates at high printing temperatures. |
| Solution |
1. Dry PET-CF in oven set at 70°C-80°C for 4-6 hours 2. Store the filament in a sealed bag with desiccants |
Other suggestions
| Tips | |
| Support structures (if use) | Raft separation distance of 0.16-0.18 mm is recommended |
| Requiring maximum strength | Using 100% infill with ±45° infill angles can provide optimal results |
