Any Research on New Materials (self.general)

Hi all,

Long time community member here. Very sad to recently find out about the massive loss of information from the banning of fosscad, but before this I was trying to do some research and am hoping to get some information here if anyone has it on some of the newer filaments that I have seen recently and if any are worth picking up. I am just polishing off the last of my PAHT-CF and Polymaker nylon-GF spools, which have been incredible for my projects, and I've seen that polymaker has been releasing a lot of new filaments under the fiberon line and rebranding old ones. Are there any of these that are worth checking out and has anyone been done any up to date experimentation with some of these newer blends?

Thanks all, RIP r/fosscad

Well untill the sub got nuked I had about 5 post of ASA frames failing none of them at the layer lines all being through out the layers so it wasn’t bad printing. How ever you are right the commmunity does have a knee jerk on a lot of materials that are fine for certain things how ever a lot of people who have to ask “is this filament good” probably shouldn’t be printing anyway
