Topic: Fiber filled pellets from 3DXtech

I am going to be trying some CF PETG pellets, from 3dxtech. I am questioning how long the nozzle will last, filtered nozzle or not? If anyone has something to add I would like to hear some opinions.

Re: Fiber filled pellets from 3DXtech

I don't think you have to worry about the nozzle on the Filastruder - although I wouldn't run a melt filter for sure.  The melt filter could get clogged really quickly depending on carbon fiber particle size.  You might end up polishing the inside of your barrel though - which has had discussion before (nothing concrete on what it would do to extrusion speed to have a polished barrel)
