Hello, I wan’t to print Carbon Fiber with my FF Creator Pro but as I understand it will damage my extruders over time and I do not wish that to happen. Is it possible to upgrade these extruders with somthing like the E3D-v6? Or something that will improve the lifespan of my extuder?
Extruder nozzles are replaceable. E3d isn’t exactly a bolt in design for a Creator Pro and you will most assuredly loose some z height doing it. Try using nozzles from Micro Swiss or P3-d.com 64
The only thing you need to replace is the nozzle. Find a nozzle that is made out of hardened steel instead of brass/copper.
We have printed carbon fiber from http://www.proto-pasta.com/ 39
You can also but the nozzle from them as well, it works great.
If you use our code during check out you can save $7 but only
good till the end of month. Code: COKREEATE
The biggest issue with printing CF filament is its abrasiveness through the nozzle. If you upgrade to a stainless steel nozzle you will be fine. It may speed up wearing on the PTFE tube, but that is easily replaceable
I just stumbled upon these nozzles today. Looks like exactly what you need. Cheers!
I’m looking at Micro Swiss Online Store 27 and all I see are nozzles. No kits? Should I check somewhere els?
