Back in 2022, when we launched PA11 Carbon Fiber, we didn’t have any enclosed 3D printers with heating strong enough to support materials like pure polyamides. Sure, small parts were printable, but the failure rate was high. Today, however, with fully...

Printability is excellent even working at temperatures that Bowden hotends could handle, and quality is awesome. Material strength is similar to what I’ve seen in the past with other Nylons with decent layer adhesion and impressive impact strength.
Well I’ll be damned…that’s pretty neat.
