*The final display of ‘Model Strength’ & ‘Model Fineness’ depend on the results of the material testing.

1. Filaments with carbon fiber, glass fiber, metal, or other inorganic particles are prone to clog a 0.2 mm nozzle.
2. For filaments containing carbon fiber or glass fiber, it is highly recommended to use a hardened steel0.6 mm nozzleto minimize the risk of clogging and abrasion.
3. Bambu PLA-CF andBambu PETG-CF have been extensively tested and proven to have a low risk of clogging when printed with a hardened steel 0.4 mm nozzle, while also achieving higher print quality.
