When loaded through the standard filament path, especially in the right-side area of the build plate, the filament must pass through a relatively sharp bending angle. With stiff materials like PPS-CF, this may result in filament break, making it difficult to print in areas close to the right edge. Please try to avoid the model covering the rightmost area.
For example:
PPS-CF (Polyphenylene Sulfide reinforced with Carbon Fiber) is a high-performance engineering material with high strength, low shrinkage, and excellent chemical resistance. However, due to its inherent rigidity and limited flexibility, PPS-CF has a larger minimum bending radius compared to standard filaments.
For Plus4 and Q2
Steps:
Print and Add a Plus4 Riser: Plus4 Riser / Q2 Riser
Place PPS-CF filament inside the QIDIBOX.
Enable the Dry-While-Print function.
Feed the filament directly from QIDIBOX into the printer.
Principle:
The controlled heating inside QIDIBOX not only keeps the filament dry but also slightly softens rigid filaments like PPS-CF, reducing the risk of break.
Best for:
Long prints or high-performance parts that require stable filament conditions.
Steps:
Principle:
This method avoids sharp filament bends inside the feeding path, reducing the risk of break.
Carbon fiber composite materials such as PPS-CF and PET-CF. A hardened steel or tungsten carbide nozzle with a diameter of ≥ 0.6 mm is recommended.
If using Method 1 (QIDIBOX), keep the drying temperature at 65 °C for optimal moisture control and filament flexibility.
