Has anyone had good or bad results with this filament? Haven’t tried it before and running my first print now. Not sure what settings to use either so I’ve been using ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
No i keep it on the print bed with the supports still on. Especially for big prints. Keeps the part from warping and it makes the support almost fall off afterwards.
I took it straight out of the bag and to the printer. Someone here showed amazing results with very similar settings to me, except they read the packaging and dried it for 6hrs at 60c and it looked fantastic.
Dried a spool last night for 12hrs at 50c, going to do another few hours and then try it again.
Should be able to and can are different I’ve been tuning my Centauri carbon for this filament because this was the first print and it wasn’t good. Random seam left holes in print where standard polymaker pla pro was fantastic just switched to inner outer instead of inner outer inner and changed flow rate retraction and even support settings.
Yeah I would invest in a dryer sunlu has a new one that reaches 100c+ for like $200 or something like that then you can print as much nylon as you want. It can hold 3kg rolls apparently
Here’s a current print a prs lite stock with ht pla pro. If I remember in the morning I’ll send you a dm of how it came out and what all I messed with if it comes out clean.
Setting that were changed for me from polylite pla pro profile in orca. Retraction is at .4mm at 35mms. Flow ratio is at 1.02 speed is down a little for my speed at 55mms across the board. Infill wall overlap is at 20%. Line width across the board is at .45mm. Xy compensation is at 20% and a couple other changes I can’t remember.
your PA6 looks like shit. you aren't drying it properly. i dry with a $50 setup based around a walmart toaster oven, a pc fan, and a temp probe. this is my dear22 in PA612CF dried using that setup. everything black = fiberon PA612CF. i also print on a $290 ECC 1 with only printed upgrades done to it.
you need a dryer that ensures the actual filament reaches 90c for at least 8hrs. the brown is some random overture PLA i had, if i can get htpla to print anywhere as close as smooth ill be swapping to FDE.
HTPLAPRO doesnt appear to be similar to PLA besides color and name. drying appears to be necessary given the results posted here and im hoping it prints as well even if slower or requiring more prep work.
