After installing a hardened nozzle 0.4mm and extruder on my P1S I got very bad prints.
I changed the setting in the printer menu to hardened steel nozzle and did a calibration.
It prints normal PLA just fine, but when I printed a model using PLA-CF it became very bad at the top layers.
Anyone know that the problem might be?

welcome to the forum
what calibration?
did you set up it in the printer? i.e. indicate in the printer that you´re using a hardened steel hot end?
Hey John, sorry to hear about the print issues. Besides setting the nozzle type, did you also adjust your flow rate or re-run the pressure advance and flow calibration specifically for PLA-CF? That material can be pretty sensitive, especially with a hardened steel nozzle which retains heat a bit differently. Might be worth checking your layer cooling and slowing down the print speed for the upper layers too.
I did the calibration on the printer itself, takes 27 minutes I believe.
I did the flow dynamics and the flow rate from the Bambu studio.
I specified which nozzle I’m using now, changed it in the settings from the printer and in Bambu studio.
Thanks for the replies!
I checked all the settings and they should be fine. I own a X1C myself over 2 years now and printed succesfully all materials, PC, ASA, ABS.
I recommended friends of mine who wanted to start printing the P1. They wanted to start with abrassive materials and told them they needed a hardened nozzle to prevent wear and tear.
I printed from the bambu studio and the print came out fine with PLA-CF. But they use the app to print stuff, is that maybe the cause? Does the app overwrite settings?
Thank you for the reply and suggestions!
