Hi Len
Carbon fibre should work O.K with either Igus or printed bearings. My magnetic rods are metal to metal. I put a bit of teflon lube in each 'cup' and they have been printing for months with no issue. The carbon fibre effect vinyl is great to print on. I used to do a lot of RC. I got into the bigger 1/4 scale end of the hobby and then decided if I was building aircraft that big I might as well go the whole hog so I learned to fly and have built two full size aircraft one of which I still fly. I have another build started but it's on hold while I get this darned 3D printing bug out of my system!!!
