Printing Tips
Important preparation and printing notes for PETG-CF.
Bambu PETG-CF must be properly dried before printing. In a blast drying oven: 65°C for 8 hours. In an AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT: 65°C, 8 hours. On an X1 printer’s heatbed: 75°C to 85°C for 12 hours. Store in a dry environment after use.
Due to the addition of carbon fiber, PETG-CF requires a more wear-resistant hardened steel nozzle. A 0.4 mm hardened steel nozzle can be used, while a 0.6 mm hardened steel nozzle is recommended to further reduce the risk of clogging.
For stronger Z-axis adhesion, increase the infill density. Avoid using an open-frame printer and refrain from setting the cooling fan speed too high, as overcooling can weaken layer bonding.
For a shinier appearance, use lower printing speeds and slightly higher nozzle temperatures.
The refill filament needs to be used with a spool. Follow the Bambu Reusable Spool instructions when swapping in a new refill filament.
