I’ve been wanting to print PPA-CF since seeing it tested in a My Tech Fun YouTube video. My Zero is supposed to arrive tomorrow and I’d like to know if there is anything I should do other than swapping in a larger hardened nozzle before attempting to print abrasive filaments?
I saw that video also…
Dry it first, overnight…like 12 hours.
I would add a brim or use glue, the bed can be finicky.
Use the printer first for a week or so, get used to it before you change the nozzle & try the PPA-CF…JMO
Thanks for the suggestions. Though I am most concerned about whether any other parts of the printer such as extruder hobbed gears are not rated for abrasive filaments?
Although Nylon isn’t listed as an approved filament, I don’t think it would be an issue.
You can always ask @sovol3d or send an email to info@sovol3d.com
Sovol’s product page does say
Supported Filament: PLA, PETG, TPU, PETG-CF, ABS, ASA, PA, PC
and one of the images also has PLA-CF listed so at least I’d expect also other similar abrasive filaments to be supported.

Yes! Thank you! I missed that or had forgotten I saw it before ordering the printer as that was a rather long time ago.
