This video tests the performance of PA6 and PA12 carbon fiber nylon filaments, revealing that PA12 is more resistant to moisture and creep than PA6. The host demonstrates that annealing can significantly improve the strength of both materials, but PA12 remains superior in long-term load-bearing applications. The video also highlights the importance of proper drying and storage to prevent moisture-related failures in carbon fiber nylon prints.

Thanks to SUNLU for sponsoring this video! Check out the E2 Professional Drying and Annealing Solution: https://geni.us/E2Dryer Carbon fiber Nylon is strong, tough, and heat resistant—but it also has hidden weaknesses that can cause your 3D prints to fail. In this video, I test PA6 and PA12 Carbon Fiber filaments to show how moisture, creep, and annealing affect their real performance. Learn when to use each material, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to get the most out of your Nylon 3D pr

would it be better to hydrate with something to displace water?
Can you test these against non-cf nylon? I've seen some testing of cfpla suggesting that it's weaker than plain pla. Given the health risks of CF I'm wondering if it even makes sense to use it. Is glass fiber better or worse? Are there other strength materials that are more useful and safer?
Shoutout to Paulaner Spezi 😂
I wonder how many carbon fibre splinters you have in your skin after this video 😅
