Printing Tips
- Bambu PA6-GF needs proper drying before printing: recommended drying temperature is 80 ℃ for 8 to 12 hours in a blast drying oven, or 90 to 100 ℃ for 10 to 12 hours on the heat bed. (Do not exceed 100 ℃ because the spool may deform or even melt).
- To prevent the filament from absorbing moisture, it is recommended to use an airtight storage container with desiccant during printing.
- To minimize warping, avoid printing large-sized high infill density models. Use enclosed printers and ensure the build plate is properly applied with glue for better print adhesion before printing.
- For better print results, please refer to additional resources.
Post-processing Tips
- We recommend removing the support structures within 2 hours after printing to prevent them from sticking after absorbing moisture. If sticking occurs, dry the model to ease the removal.
- Placing the printed part in a convection oven set between 80 to 130 ℃ for 5 to 12 hours can further enhance the strength and rigidity of the print. Note: The effectiveness of this process depends on the structure, size, and conditions of the printed model. Some models may warp or deform after annealing.
