Nice. I just printed some functional parts with Fiberon PA12-CF and it was as easy as any other filament.First time printing PA-CF and it looks pretty cool.
Some older benchies I keep to compare.

Was a bit hesitant on brand choice - I got Sunlu PA6-CF since all the PLA I use is by Sunlu and I've had nothing but great results.
The ABS, ASA, and TPU I use is all by Overture and it's never failed me either; prints extremely easy and very well.
I forget what brand PETG I tried once but it was absolutely terrible no matter what I printed or what settings I changed so I wrote it off completely. I'm betting it was a bad roll but I haven't found a reason to use PETG.

I love printing in PA6-GF from Bambu. Keep it dry (really dry!) and go slow, and the print quality is outstanding!
Some filament is just weird. I have a roll of 95A TPU that printed like ****. It was so bad that the prints were unusable. I dried it for days and couldn't figure out what the problem was. I then decided to bump the dryer temp up 5 or 10 degrees over what is typically recommended for TPU and it printed beautifully, but I have to dry it very well every time I use it. It's much more finicky in terms or drying time and temp than the other TPUs I've used.

Interesting.
I'll leave my TPU for weeks in my AMS HT (not drying or anything, I just let it sit) and it'll reach 30% humidity or so?
Still printed like normal without drying.
But yeah some filaments can be weird like PETG for me. Or at least that specific roll (maybe a bad batch?).
