    Hi @RMG, welcome! 

    When you have Ultimaker Cura 3.6 open, you can go to the Marketplace > Materials > BASF > and install the PET CF material profile. Use it in combination with your CC core for the best and safest results. 

     

    Good luck!

    Hi all, hope this thread is still living.

    We want to use this filament for prototypes. In the configuration profile we found some inconsistencies, though. The data sheet tells 210-220°C and 0% fan. The downloaded profile has 260°C and 100% fan. What is correct or the better way to go?

    We tested the material with the defult profile, but with higher wall thickness jumps it tends to shrinks unevenly and therefore the layer adhesion is bad. Further oozing is quite strong, so retratcion speed or distance might be too less..

     

    Thanks for helping!

    Hello, welcome to the community! I just checked, and the data sheet I find suggests Nozzle temp: 250º-270ºC. Which is in line with what Cura suggests. The other things you mention like uneven shrinking and oozing, were they results of the default profile without any changes?

    Thanks for your fast reply!

    I found now your version aswell.

    Here's another datasheet I referred to originally: https://www.igo3d.com/mediafiles/Sonstiges/Innofil3D/TDS DE Innofil3D PET CF 180803.pdf

    https://www.igo3d.com/innofil3d-petcf-filament

    this should be the same, but maybe an older version..

    The issues I have with the standard profile settings, without changing anything. In the picture attached you can see the layer inconsistency. It breaks easily away at the transition point of the ring below to the spoke above. The other parts attached shows the same issue going from a thicker profile to thinner spokes.

    The support worked well, so this might not be the problem.

    The breaking pattern shows that there is a kind of underextrusion, while the shell of the rest of the parts seems to be filled properly.

    @SandervG do you have seen such behavior before with this filament?

    Good morning:

      I have had no problems with these settings :

    Temp: 255 Cel.

    Layer height: .2-.4mm

    Speed:60mm

    cooling: 0%

    build plate temp: 75Cel.

    Also, how many hours do you have on the  print head?  CF is very abrasive.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
