eSUN carbon-fiber ePA discussion thread

Post by insta » Sun Feb 14, 2016 2:41 am

Filament name: CF ePA
Filament vendor: eSun
Hotend used: V4 all-metal
Nozzle diameter: 0.50mm stainless steel
Layer height: 0.2mm
Printing temperature: Bed 90°C, Extruder 250°C
Bed treatment: 50/50 water/woodglue on BuildTak

CF ePA requires substantial drying, and I didn't do that with this sample. It was foamy but printed well once I found the right bed treatment. The end piece is very stiff, I like this stuff more than the regular ePA, but we'll see how much more expensive it is.

lol you are bad about superfluous posts in the sticky ;)

I just tried it on woodglue/buildtak. It worked well enough ... I didn't get any notable adhesion with regular ePA to hairspray.
