colorfabb XT-CF20 - no extrusion

Posted in colorfabb XT-CF20 - no extrusion
Hi,

I 've to print something for my client with the carbon filament XT-CF20 from colorfabb. This is my first print with this material ever and it just doesn't work.

I'm  printing with the UM2+ and for this material I got a 0.5 mm nozzle made of stainless steel.
So I change the material and the extruder pulls the XT-CF20 actually quite normal. The nozzle has 250°C and the material comes out of the nozzle as fast as normal, so I press ready.

But when I start printing, nothing comes out of the nozzle. I just don't understand why?

I pulled the material already 3x in and out and always exactly the same: while changeing the material it works, when I want to print it doesn't. Every other material works fine.

I hope anybody got a tip for me.
Any idea?

Thanks!
Simon

      Q: For some users, abrasive materials may be a new subject matter. Can you explain what it is that makes a material abrasive when you are not sure which print core to use?
      A: Materials which are hard in a solid piece (like metals, ceramics and carbon fibers) will generally also wear down the nozzle. In general one should assume...

      "Back To The Future" using Generative Design & Investment Casting

      SteveCox3D posted a topic in Engineering,

      Designing for light-weight parts is becoming more important, and I’m a firm believer in the need to produce lighter weight, less over-engineered parts for the future. This is for sustainability reasons because we need to be using less raw materials and, in things like transportation, it impacts the energy usage of the product during it’s service life.
