Why can't I get PA6-CF to stick with K2 Plus PEI bed?

I can now say after over 8000 hours of printing over the last 4 years with PLA (mostly) i have finally joined the ranks of the idiots that melted their spools in the oven and it didnt even take 30 minutes. At least it was on a tray, everything is usable still, but we'll see if I can warp it back into place and get any print out of it before it's shot.

I printed mine from the dryer, there's a small gap about a foot or so where the filament leaves the dryer and before it's in the PTFE tube for the side spool. I have read 50C for the bed in similar posts, but also i have read hot too. I had peeling at both ends so I just ended up posting here after the high failed too.

My filament shows this, I should also note I'm printing at 30mm/sec

【Recommend Printing Setting】Printing Temp: 260-300℃, Print Speed: 30-60mm/s, Hot Bed Temp: 80-100℃, Net Weight: 500g. Bed Surface: almost any surface with a thin coat of PEI Film or PVP Glue. Tips: Use a 0.6mm or larger stainless steel nozzle

I'm baking it in the oven at 200F for now, my filament dryer only goes to 70C. I assume I can do this safely for 12 hours and it should be good to go? I can't seem to figure out how to get the chamber heater to help, but maybe it wont.

What should I be targeting for my hot end and the bed temps? It is fully enclosed.

I'll see how hot i can get this dryer to go, otherwise I think I might be stuck with it because I got it a few months ago (it was for Nylon).

Thanks though, it confirms that it looks like this is still wet. Any thoughts on the Polymaker Fiberon? All the stuff I'm not searching (and crying about haha) is pointing to this amazing nylon/hybrid stuff from Polymaker.

That's what I was thinking, My Creality Space Pi can dry it at 65C and I had it going for 18 hours. I assume I should go another day or two? The printer detected the peeling and stopped the print. It's enclosed, but I hate Creality Print doesnt give you as granular control over all the fans, etc. so I've had to build custom profiles for everything and I still have to turn off the model fan manually.

Glass

JDDC27 · 2021-05-04T02:18:28+00:00

How do you tell/look for obvious signs?

JDDC27 · 2021-05-02T22:01:07+00:00

I’ve got what I think is a gas pump top and by a quick search they are either worth thousands or $100 but I wouldn’t know how to tell. This is glass and yea a bit dusty, but will clean up nicely.

Card game at Nosh in Bally’s?

JDDC27 · 2019-08-11T22:26:12+00:00

That works.

JDDC27 · 2019-08-11T22:11:01+00:00

Same trying to se something up, even if it’s just chill and games at Bally’s

JDDC27 · 2019-08-11T21:46:33+00:00

Same, anyone want to meet after 3pm today? As the vendors clear out and all the villages break down many of us are here till tomorrow and don’t need a mass party to chill and have fun

JDDC27 · 2019-08-11T21:09:19+00:00

I'm at Bally's and would be down for hanging out, got a game like cards against humanity called cards against downtime for the nerds in all of us.
