Re: Perfect Build Surface For PLA?
Since CF vinyl seems to work nicely for a no-heat bed, has anyone tried a whole sheet of carbon fiber? If it works it would make your bed super light.

He used a vinyl sticker, not real carbon fiber. That would be another test. Rolls of shelf liner vinyl is cheap though....how about Formica? Or countertop laminate? Strong and flexible.

Very nice. I saw your pics and did somthig similar. I have tried several hot ends and the "J" head is the only one that doesn't melt filament before hot end. What are the feed rates you are using?

People have printed on Carbon Fiber before and I'm sure still do. That's just one example, I've seen a few over the past year.

@rdm6 sure go ahead and build it . You will not regret it. But do use aluminium spools for the spectra lines.
