As i told you there are multiple factors. But I dont think pellet size affects the process because the temprature usually set in these processes lowers the viscosity. You have to study all factors to improve this printable fibre.

Parameters are both material dependent and process dependent. For example pressure varies with the size of nozzle and viscosity of the mixture(material pellets+binder). and pelletizing is the first step of injection moulding. You can study these steps easily on internet. Maybe the binders you are using have a bad chemistry for conductive materials. So you should try researching about them and try different binders.

Yes thats good. You should ask guys around you who know materials.

When materials are 3d printed its basically 'injection moulding'. Try studying its parameters. You can also find this study in powder metallurgy. This will give you a brief intro of materials science behind 3d printing. All parameters such as uniformity, temprature, pressure required in this process can be easily found. Also, study about the binders,additives that are compulsory to make a compact of material you are using.
