I am curious if the chopped fibers in the PEEK would clog your filastruder nozzle, or wear it down.

The gases they give off will not be good for your health or anyone in the vicinity for that reason.

Does anyone have experience in making filament from these materials?  Does anyone want to try to make filament from these materials?  I can provide scrap samples if needed.
