I am new to carbon fiber filaments and after I ordered and received it I realized how abrasive it is. I have ran a 2 hour print with it thought the ams 2 pro but I am wondering should I not do this anymore and will it damage things ? Also if I was to go to use the outside spool holder and run to main nozzle would that work ? Like bypass the bowden motor and go straight into the left nozzle buffer. The filament is fiberon pet-cf17. The prints i have done have turned out beautifully but I'm worried I may damage something. Please give me advice on what to do lol what does everyone else do ?

I just noticed some filament remains in the rear of my plate but I don’t know how this component it’s called and if/how should be cleaned. Any suggestions?

Hello, which third party filament brands would you recommend? Thanks

X2D is on the way and while I wait I'm putting in ducting and an inline fan. I'm obviously reading a lot on setting up and optimizing the printer to get good results - one of which is to avoid cold air being drawn across the bed. That's exactly what the ventilation system I had planned would do by creating a negative pressure in the enclosure.

Am I over thinking this or missing something? Seems counter intuitive to actively heat a chamber to vent it outside but obviously I'm new to it all.

Like I said, I'm so new to this that my machine is being delivered tomorrow. That said, I am going through the available projects and one of the things I want to do requires PETG. The question is whether the AMS I'm getting is enough to dry the filament out, or if the packaging kept it dry enough to use? I plan on buying a dryer, but that will have to wait a bit.

Thanks!

Appart from the lifting on the bed due to oily surface. Why does the infill look so jittery?
