I have a Sovol SV06+ currently but I'm interested in switching to an enclosed core XY printer for engineering filaments like PPA-CF. I've been looking at the Centuri Carbon, Qidi Q2, or a used Bambu P1S and modifying it to get a higher hot end temp. Would the CC be sufficient to print PPA-CF well or should I spend the more money on a different printer?

Definitely leaning towards the Q2 since it seems better suited to what I want to do. I'm hoping the heated chamber and higher temps for the hot end will make my prints last longer which may very well make up for the cost difference between the CC and the Q2 in the long run.
