Que faire à la place

  • Your printer's bed maxes out at 0°C, but PA12-CF needs at least 80°C for reliable adhesion.
  • Try a compatible filament for your Markforged FX20 — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
  • If you need PA12-CF specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 260°C+ nozzle.
