Do I need a hardened steel nozzle for PETG-CF?
Yes, Bambu Lab lists a hardened steel nozzle as required for PETG-CF and rates it not compatible with a 0.2 mm nozzle (Bambu Lab wiki).
Should I dry PETG-CF?
Bambu Lab recommends drying PETG-CF before use, at 60 to 65 °C for 8 hours in a forced-air oven (Bambu Lab wiki).
Why is my PETG-CF part weak?
Cold room air weakens the bond between layers, so Bambu Lab recommends an enclosed printer for PETG-CF (Bambu Lab wiki).
Where do these values come from?
From the profiles Bambu Studio ships, read at BambuStudio v02.09.01.70 (56a57d0). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
