How to Print with Bambu Labs PET-CF Filament on a Bambu Labs X1 Carbon 3D Printer

Join me as I explore the world of PET-CF 3D printing with the Bambu Labs X1 Carbon 3D Printer. Get to know the optimal settings, filament drying, and post-processing methods for PET-CF prints.

Hey just wanted to say thank you for these videos, was really trying to decide on what cf filaments to try and the Bambu descriptions don’t really give solid comparisons. Excited to see your comparison video!

My friend was going to buy a set of replacement brake levers for his motorcycle and a set was £120, I showed him the finish of PLA CF and he wanted them printed in CF so we went for the PA6 CF I also made him some enclosures for the dials and they look awesome

Thanks for these videos. Just ordered an X1. So much to learn 😂

What will happen if I use the ams? I’m asking because there is a support material made for PET-CF how am I going to use the support that is in the AMS and the PET-CF is on the spool holder?? This is quite confusing

How is it that you cant get PET by itself but you do get it in PET-CF. Does the carbon fiber prevent the carbon fiber keep the PET in amorphous form (prevent from crystalizing) ?

Which of the cf filaments is your favorite overall? In terms of strength, ease of printing, etc…

Hey there, I have always been interested in printing with PETG with my X1 but always ran into clogs and exessive gunking of the filment aroiund the nozzle. I came across both of your PETG and PET G carbon fiber videos today and I noticed that you mentioned the prints look pretty good. They look pretty bad actually, I see layer adhesion issues and the print doesnt look smooth at all for a CF filled fialment. Have you experimented printing without glue on a pei sheet before?

What about using the really good filament dryers that are out there? also I am working through a way to determine moisture level of a spool.

I’m trying to print with pet-cf on x1 carbon. Prints flawlessly for the first 1/3-2/3 then layers looks squished and kinda…. Mushrooms for lack of better description. Any recommendations on ways to fix it?

Hey Len, I've been printing Bambu PETG-CF with the Bambu x1C for some time now but I don't understand this filament. My nozzle always gets full of filament on the exterior. It just gathers up during printing for some reason.

Bambu presets, says to print with 250-255 degrees, but then the nozzle oozes filament out (i've tried drying for 12-18 hours, no difference). I manually set to 240, but it still oozes out at the nozzle at stand-by a little bit. Much better than at higher degrees though.

Problem is, even at 240, my nozzle still gets full of gunk on the exterior. I tried exchanging the 0.4 nozzle to a 0.6 nozzle, but still no difference. Same thing happens. What could be wrong??

Also once you side mount isnt moisture just getting back in?

Cool video. I just subscribed. :-) I have a bambu lab x1 carbon with out the AMS. I have been using the cool plate with PLA. I want to use the engineering plate on the other side of the build plate for PETG. Do I remove the sticker on the cool plate and then just start using the engineering plate. I didn't see any video on how to use the engineering plate on your video listing. Maybe you can make a video on how to use the engineering plate.

That print-quality is atrocious? I have never used their cf-PET but I have used azurefilms cf-PET and I've had just leagues better print quality. Maybe their filaments aren't just very good?

[vecblen]

its better to print free filament, try my set up

Did you have any issues clumping/blobbing? Currently getting tons of it on a fairly basic part with PET-CF
