⚠ Important Printing Recommendations
⚠ Hardened Steel Nozzle Recommended
Abrasive Material Notice
PETG-CF contains 15% carbon fiber and is abrasive.
Using standard brass nozzles may cause:
- Accelerated wear
- Enlarged nozzle diameter
- Reduced print precision
Recommended:
✔ Hardened Steel Nozzle
✔ Wear-Resistant Nozzle
For long-term printing reliability.
⚠ Dry Before Printing
Moisture Control Improves Print Quality
PETG-CF may absorb moisture during storage.
