From my understanding 4hrs isn't long enough. You need to bake it at 100C for at least 10-12 hours for the crystalline structures to fully rebuild. I did a lot of researching and found that the longer it's annealed the longer the chains, and that helps in impact resistance and creep. However. If it's annealed too long it will weaken it and make it brittle. 10hrs at 100C, then SLOWLY lower temp to room temp. After that, either let it sit out in a humid environment for 2 weeks, or place in a plastic bag with a wet sponge for a 3-5 days. That should moisture condition it to spec

PPA-CF vs PA6-CF?
Does anyone have experience printing PPA-CF and PA6-CF? I had read that "PPA-CF is 48% stronger" than PA6 if you get good layer adhesion, but I'm seeing conflicting info regarding impact resistance. Anyone have input who's printed and used both?
