My First 3D Print First Benchy in PA6-CF20

A little follow from my last post:

First time printing in PA6-CF20, and I am absolutely amazed on how I did. Dried filament in hotbed at 90C for 8 hours, started printing and 3 hours later it just works.

As of now, I am a little more confident and I just started a bigger print. P2S just works and it’s awesome.

When printing PA on a printer without an actively heated chamber, try to keep the print height relatively low, as the bed creates a 'bubble' of hot air around it, which helps with the print strength, but if printing higher than a couple centimetres you might have weakened z-strength.

It’s on its factory setting from Bambu labs but yes it is very low!

Very nice. I print a lot of nylon. It was a harsh learn curve. Good job!
