3D Printing Softjaws

[richardsalzman]

Just curious if anyone has had luck 3D printing soft jaws. If so, what kind of filament have you used. I am contemplating printing soft jaws from carbon fiber enforced nylon. Please let me know your thoughts.

Titans has videos on the subject! 

Regular PLA would work, but once. 
You'll need something like a Markforged to do "real" ones.

I am curious how the new Bambu would do with carbon filament, I've heard that the quality of the prints is on par with the MarkForged. We have a Markforged in the Birmingham Tech Center (UK), as well as the Bambu X1 and from what I gather, most folks prefer the Bambu

I have a Bambu and that is what I plan on using. They are amazing inexpensive printers. I'm trying to figure out the best filament. I'll let you know how it goes.
