Carbon fiber reinforced filament won’t give you a CF effect. It’s intended for parts that need higher mechanical strength. Although it does give a matte effect, but there are other filaments for that, that are cheaper and don’t wear out you nozzle (CF printing requires hardened nozzles).
Thanks for sharing. I’ve done similar during this pandemic lockdown. I received my Ender Pro for Christmas 2019. I’ve been using PLA. I’ve found 3DSolutech performs very well in most colors but I did have to return a roll of orange and red. It arrived very brittle and kept breaking during printing even after drying. I returned them through Amazon. I sent 3DSolutech an email but never heard from them. I’m hoping it was just bad rolls. Another favorite is Priline? I’ve tried several colors and so far love the results. I just got a roll of their TPU and can’t wait to tryHatch box is another good brand. I’ve only tried a few of their colors. I have a few other brands still to try. I have a roll of Priline carbon fiber but thought I may need to upgrade th O an all metal hot end on my Ender 3 Pro to print. What’s your experience printing carbon fiber on a stock Ender Pro.
@@LearnAsWeGo you could use this printer to make moulds, then a carbon fibre kit could produce anything you wanted. Ive been watching a few vids showing a few easy methods to make high quality carbon products, id bet you could get impressive results with abit of research.
@@LearnAsWeGo Thanks for your suggestions on filament btw its a bit of mindfield of options. RE the carbon fiber filament, I haven't used it (heard it eats standard nozzles etc.) but my understanding is it has carbon fibers in it to improve part strength rather than simply aiming to look like real CF.
If you buy from amazon you should give AMZ3D pla a try, I've had good results with it, eSun pla+ is o.k but not very accurate in tolerance 1.75mm and takes some fine tunning with flow rate ect for dimensional accuracy, if needed!, but prints well. Not really tried eryone apart from one roll of petg and it was really bad, will never buy petg from them again!, Best petg I've tried so far is Fiberlogy from 3djake uk, Also tried extrudr petg and it was brittle across two differnet rolls no matter what settings I changed (temps/speed/cooling) it made no difference to the parts being easy to snap with my hands and is expensive per roll. Will have to give eryone pla a tried sometime...................:-)
