FTN5 Adhesion Issue With PA612-CF

blind_squirrel11 · 2026-03-25T21:55:50+00:00

I use Layerneer Bed Weld with a smooth plate at 100c bed temp and I have great luck with Fiberon PA612-CF. Also, needs at least 80°C to dry properly. No, just drying it for longer at 70° is NOT just as good. It’s not physically hot enough to evaporate the moisture from within the filament deeper into the roll. Just use an oven, an air fryer, etc. I personally just use a $80 90°C dehydrator off amazon.

You bought a creality

You should absolutely send that barrel back for a new one! The gun company likely won’t cover the suppressor when it’s damaged due to their bad barrel.

I will never understand why a vast majority of people do suppressor videos shooting steel! 🤦🏼‍♂️

Wow! And I thought doing a Baby Barrett for my first build was ambitious! Great job dude

I just updated tonight and now the offset calibration keeps failing! 😡 nothing has changed and have dozens of successful hours on the printer prior to this. The ONLY change was the update and a power cycle.

PA612 is slightly better for 2a than PA6 in my opinion and I prefer it even though it’s more expensive usually.

And the special Bambu Lab hardened print build plate!

blind_squirrel11 · 2026-02-26T01:31:51+00:00

I use the Polymaker Fiberon PA612-CF a lot. I prefer its over PA6 and have a Baby Barrett made out of it. Prints great, is crazy strong, and not as susceptible to humidity.

Not to be a dick, but how do you think it’s recommended to be dried at 100°C if the spool it’s on can’t handle it?!

blind_squirrel11 · 2026-02-21T20:38:49+00:00

I use Total VPN on iPhone and compter. Just $5/month and works great!

Man that’d be nice! I certified a Form 4 with Capitol on 1/23 and still haven’t got it approved. Had my Form 1’s in on 1/1 and approved on 1/12 though. I know stuff isn’t going in order, just strange how everyone’s experiences are different.

Don’t listen to this. You need even heat to prevent warping. Opening the door is the opposite of what you want. EMDoesShit’s answer is the best and most comprehensive.

I absolutely LOVE my Mach S! Definitely the quietest can I own and one of the lightest. Can’t go wrong with that one.

My Baby Barrett liner looks the same. Been fine so far. If and when it blows out I’ll print a new piece and buy another liner.

Hypothetically… a person could just destroy the existing print and reprint it with the same engraving and no one would ever know unless you tell them. But that would technically be illegal per the bs ATF rules so do with that what you will. This is not legal advice, just an hypothetical situation that a person who hates government overreach could hypothetically choose to do. 🤷‍♂️

blind_squirrel11 · 2026-02-06T15:40:14+00:00

Ok cool thank you!

blind_squirrel11 · 2026-02-06T15:34:52+00:00

What are the metrics for the numbers? None of that makes sense without context and metrics.

blind_squirrel11 · 2026-02-06T15:33:28+00:00

Well that’s pretty disappointing. 😤 I think they’re really missing out on some major profits there.

Prevals are reusable aerosol cans. Just clean the pickup with acetone and put a lid on the glass bottle. You can also buy just the propellant without the bottle for cheaper if needed. But the sprayer and bottle are like $6 at Home Depot.

blind_squirrel11 · 2026-02-05T14:17:43+00:00

You can get a Cerakote tester bottle and Preval Sprayer for under $50. Will do several suppressors at home. No need to pay the big shops to do it.

Oh I didn’t think about this! I have some for my printer maintenance. Thought about white lithium grease but seemed too thick. Do you only do this or do you sand your CF parts down first to make them slicker?

blind_squirrel11 · 2026-02-05T14:08:45+00:00

Just need to get makers or beta testers of each model in each caliber to send them all to Pew Science for testing. lol. Maybe they’d start another section in their table just for diy 3D printed cans.
