Video Description

Thanks to SUNLU for sponsoring this video! Check out the E2 Professional Drying and Annealing Solution: https://geni.us/E2Dryer Carbon fiber Nylon is strong, tough, and heat resistant—but it also has hidden weaknesses that can cause your 3D prints to fail. In this video, I test PA6 and PA12 Carbon Fiber filaments to show how moisture, creep, and annealing affect their real performance. Learn when to use each material, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to get the most out of your Nylon 3D prints!
