For those who need to know, I found a decent, really strong engineering filament that is easy to print.
The filament is 3DXTech PETG+CF (PETG blended with carbon fiber). I am using the black filament with a stock Prusa I3MK3/s printer. It prints with a matte finish. It needs a steel nozzle, and I purchased the .3mm steel nozzle from 3DXTech. I am using textured PEI Prusa bed. However, I spray it with Windex as a release agent before I print, and prints come off easily. If you don't use the Windex, it will take a chisel to get the stuff off. I run the hot end at 270 and the bed at 70.
Still trying to nail down parameters for support material. With some of my parts, I can get away with no supports, but then I have to clean off the strings.
This is what I am printing: www.hangatablet.com. I have the patents on the thing and designed it using Alibre (now I am on V23). Don't think there is much of a market anymore, but it's interesting working with it and useful for rental cars.
