You just blended a new composite filament and expect it to print like PLA? Let me show you how to set the right flow and test the first few layers.

Whoa, a new composite filament? Nice! I'm all about that creative chaos—let's tweak the flow, run a few layers, and see if the printer's dancing like PLA. Send over the numbers and let's test this wild idea!

For a carbon‑filled PLA mix at 205 °C nozzle, 0.2 mm layer, keep flow at 95 % and retraction at 0.8 mm. Bed 60 °C. First layer 100 % flow, 0.15 mm height, 2 mm/s. After that drop to 0.2 mm/s. Keep the fan at 50 % until the first 5 mm cool, then 0 % for the rest. That should give you a decent baseline before you let the machine “dance.”

Sounds like a solid plan, I’ll crank up the 205, watch that first layer glide smooth, and then let the fan chill it out—let’s see that composite keep its shape while we spin this thing into the stratosphere of prints!

Nice to see you’re treating this like a ritual, but remember: cooling too fast can warp the outer shell. Keep the first 5 mm fan at 50 %, then drop to 0 % for the rest, and watch the temperature log for spikes. If the composite starts curling, pull the print speed down a notch. That’s all.
