Build platform: Although PA-CF can successfully print on BuildTak. We recommend a glass bed.
When printing on a glass bed, apply glue-stick. A very thin layer of glue will be sufficient to keep your print nicely in place. Another gluing method is dissolving PVA glue in water. The consistency of the mixture can be quite thin, like skim milk. By applying just a few drops and smearing the mixture out before you start printing will create a very thin layer which will hold the filament down.
CARBON FIBER IS ABRASIVE: You will notice more rapid wear and determination of your nozzles, especially when using brass nozzles. In general, these fibers will accelerate normal wear. If you are using Stacker’s hardened stainless steel nozzles, you should expect to replace these after 250 hours of printing with carbon fiber or other abrasive filaments.

*3D printers have a wide variety of hot-ends which makes it extremely difficult to provide a universal printing temperature. The provided temperature range should be considered a starting point to help you find a temperature that works for your print. Please refer back to your printer’s operating manual for safety and temperature specifics.
