prusa mk3s+ carbon fiber filament

[near umbra]

<@&1122587817768398938>

I have a prusa mk3s+ and have been using prusa's carbon fiber filament without any issues. looking to finally replace what I originally ordered and find that polymaker has a bunch of options. when i am printing it is generally with the intent of having the strongest and most heat resistant part possible. if there is a product that is even better than the carbon fiber stuff please let me know.

Strongest your mk3s+ will print is something like pa6-cf. Go any stronger and you need a hotter nozzle, bed, and chamber.

Just be sure to anneal post-print to receive full strength properties

i have never thought or seen anything about that before

how do i go about doing that?

I use a toaster oven and put them on a bed of sand (so there’s no hotspots from pan).

i am sorry for all of the dumb questions but, where did you find that information? i cannot find it on the page for the material.

All the info for polymaker’s pa6-cf can be found on the item page on their website. That specific screenshot I sent was from the TDS that can also be downloaded from the product page.
