Bambu Lab PPA CF FAQ
Q: What printers can use PPA CF?
A: Compatible with Bambu Lab P1S, X1C, and X1E. Requires enclosed chamber and hardened steel nozzle. Not compatible with open-frame printers.
Q: Do I need to dry PPA CF before printing?
A: Yes, always. Dry at 100-140°C for 8-12 hours before printing. PPA CF is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture, affecting print quality.
Q: Is PPA CF worth the premium price?
A: For applications requiring extreme heat resistance (227°C), chemical resistance, or metal-approaching strength, yes. For general prototyping, consider PA6-CF instead.
