#PA6CF / PA12CF / PA612CF info conflicting?

I'm seeing some conflicting info out int he world.... can someone let me know, for sure, whether PA12-CF is more or less "creepy" at normal temps (up to say 45C) than the PA6-CF? I'm also trying to compare it with the Bambulabs branded PAHT-CF, but that honestly just seems to be a PA12-CF variant which si why I am considering the Polymaker PA6/12-CF as a option.

I'm also curious about the beta PA612-CF, but I dont see a data sheet.

You can find the tds here. I have some pieces printed to test temp resistance but I haven't had a chance to put them in the oven yet. #general message

I don't think creep data is available in terms of technical data sheet. We will likely learn more from people in the community using it for loads bearing applications.

The biggest impact on mechanical properties is crystallization of nylon. So if someone reports poor performance with nylon I always ask if they annealed and if they did what is their annealing process.

Best practice is minimum 6 hours annealing, longer for larger parts. For the TDS I recall that Polymaker anneal the samples for 24 hours, I assume to ensure maximum crystallinity.
