Good Filament on 3D Printing Consumables

Overall I like this filament. It's fairly durable, has a nice matte finish and seems stable for over 20 hours of printing time across a wide range of print sizes and types. I would give 4.5 stars if I could. Patience is the key. Be sure to apply the first layer correctly on a well-calibrated printer. Also check the slicer settings to avoid weak walls or poor adhesion or sticking of the edge layers to the infill, otherwise the print can easily crumble. A good print is strong but slightly more flexible than PLA, stiffer than ABS or Nylon. Stiffness is good but not too brittle and not too flexible. To print the frame of the quadcopter and other parts, some slicer settings (Slic3r) which worked fine on my Cartesian scan: even need that much heat, depending on the build area) Hotend - 255-260 1st layer, then 250 layer 1 - 0.35 - 0.4 mm (for 0.4 or 0.5 mm nozzle) Other layers - 0.2-0.25 mm for 0.4 or 0.5 mm nozzle Jet. Print Speed - 40/Perimeter, Outer 50%, Fill 45, Solid Fill 20, Travel 150, 1st Layer 30. Layer Cooling - None. - no erasing or anything out of the ordinary Flow multiplier 1.0 (although I increased the flow rate on the printer to 105% for some prints) Margin - Spacing 0, Width 1-3mm depending on build surface adhesion Infill - 30-50 is sufficient for most prints 2-3 outer layers depending on layer height, 3 top and bottom. Finally, make sure the floss is stored in an airtight bag or container so it doesn't absorb moisture. I still use CF PLA which is most commonly used for heavy prints but I like this CF PC much better than CF Nylon, PETG, ABS etc assuming it will stand the test of time. Stiffness between PLA (this CF-PC filament is less stiff) and ABS/PETG/Nylon (this CF-PC filament is stiffer). correct minor printer and slicer settings).
