I have a question about printing PA12. This is the first time I was able to print with Fiberlogy PA12 (NYLON | Filament resistant to temperatures and chemicals | Fiberlogy) and I changed the Bambu studio filament preset to Generic PA and started printing at 280c. After about 20 minutes the material clogged. I had to disassemble the hot end. Next I tried to raise the temperature to 290c and lower the fan speed to 30%. It was kind of a success. The test benchy turned out pretty ugly but it was a succesful print at least. After that I had several clogs during printing, so my question is, what can be a good setting for this type of material? I think that the default Max volumetric speed: 16mm3 is a bit too much. Is there a way to know what is the perfect Volumetric speed for this filament?
I’m sorry if I’m asking stupid questions here, I’m pretty new to this.
I’m learning that it’s best to use OrcaSlicer’s calibration prints on every new filament that I try. The PLA that came with my X1C is the only stuff that “just worked” with the default presets. Everything else has failed to stick, or was very stringy, or left blobs all over. Even settings from the filament manufacturer were less than ideal. Calibration takes some time and material, but is much quicker than making guesses at the best settings.
end goal with my P1P was to print Alloy 910. That’s still a hill to get over at the moment but have loaded a couple other spools now after finishing the white PLA provided by BL and was wondering that same thing, I bet their filament has been fined tuned because I had no stringing what so ever. Spool of blue PLA from Solutech is stringing just a bit and the red from Solutech was just a bit worse. Am considering BL filament because the prices are comparable and I am at that stage with printing where I just want the damn thing to print with no issues and so far this P1P is knocking it out of the park every single time.
Trying to print with eSun PA12, with general setting. My temp was Initial at 300, std was 295…, same with you, trying to print a new lower receiver for my Marui G17, “It was kind of success” also, but completely un-usable, either i was not drying the filament enough, or too much too ask for 0.08mm, or i need to tweak some parameters. Adhesion is good though…
