The thing about pp cf is it is not the typical cf, you don’t have the fibers overlapping so you don’t get the same look. But you definitely get a good alternative! Still worth playing with. I actually talked to the owner of pp about their cf and it’s not really stronger than abs, I used it to print a dji inspire camera mount so I could mount a 3d camera on it and the mount has held up very well! I printed cf on a makerbot 2x with a .4 tip and I didn’t have a problem at all. The only thing about the cf is that it is very abrasive! I print it with zero heat on a Fleks3d build plate without a problem. Protopasta offers around $7-10 off a sample spool, you get a good amount, or you can use your 3d hubs discount perks code. I would definitely get a sample spool.

Good eye! Yes I go to KSU. I don’t print all if these models, most but not all, I have a good relationship with the head chair of the Construction Management Department so I can get access to their Stratasys uPrint se and have a good relationship with the Shop Manager of the Architecture department so they let me toy with their Makerbot 2x. I have also done a lot of playing with my 2.0a to make it better, it also helps that I use Simplify3d. Some of the other prints I have, I have ordered on 3d Hubs. Sourced the community!
