In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the comparison between PETG carbon fiber and PET carbon fiber. PET carbon fiber is noted for its higher impact strength and elongation at break compared to PETG carbon fiber. The choice between the two materials depends on the specific requirements of the application, with PET being ideal for higher temperature resistance and PETG for better impact resistance. Key components mentioned for 3D printing setup include the use of a hardened steel extruder with hardened steel nozzle, an all-metal hotend like The Faded dragonfly for printing PETCF within the range of 280-320 degrees Celsius, and a powder-coated PEI flex plate for adhesion. Additionally, the importance of using a filament dryer to remove moisture from filaments is highlighted. Slicer settings such as bed temperature at 80 Celsius, hotend temperature at 300 Celsius, retraction distance at 1mm, and speed at 30mm/s are discussed. It is recommended to adjust the layer cooling fan speed for improved results in printing small parts and features, with a suggested print speed range of 30-90 according to Fades.
