Comment on Looking to get a new printer, Qidi 1 Pro top of list? Also Polydryer?
nullroot@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThis is what I like to hear! I ordered some pet cf and straight nylon, the pa-cf was just too expensive to justify without a specific usecase. Does your xmax 3 come with a tungsten carbide nozzle or did you switch to one to use cf filaments?

Mine came with one plated (with nickel, I believe) brass one and an entire spare hotend with a hardened steel one installed. They advise you to use the steel one for filled filaments (carbon fiber, glass, glow, etc.) and also high temperature materials.
I have since replaced my stock nozzle with an aftermarket polycrystalline diamond one, and it’s been completely trouble free.
