What to do instead
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 0°C, but PA6-CF needs at least 85°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your Markforged Onyx Pro — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need PA6-CF specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 255°C+ nozzle.
