PPA-CF vs PA6-CF? (forum.guncadindex.com)

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?

Annealing results in more uniform crystalization which generally reduces impact strength. If your salt annealed parts showed higher impact strength, that's an indication that the annealing was actually unsuccessful.
