TIP! For colorFabb_XT we advice to print on a heated bed. After printing, the build plate needs to cool down to about 20-30 C at which point you can remove the printed part.
Difference between XT-CF20 and nGen-CF10
The main difference between XT-CF20 and nGen-CF10 is the base polymer XT and nGen. This gives a slight advantage to nGen-CF10 interms of temperature resistance, about 5-10C. The lower carbon fiber content also makes nGen-CF10 easier to work with an less susceptible to material accumulating around the nozzle during printing.
Drying of nGen-CF10 is recommended when users observe excessive stringing / oozing on travelmoves. The melt of the material will become easier to control when dried properly at 70C for 4-9 hours depending on the time it has spend exposed to the environment.
