New printer, new filament, new build started

Well 500 rounds for what I'm assuming is PLA is still quite a fair number. Though I am curious have you ever fired frames that were not annealed?

Pla frames have garnered 200+/- and 23 rounds with neither one being annealed. PETG got about 5 rounds. Annealed. Working on PA612CF15 now. Annealed got through 250, 12, and currently at 100 on my latest frame. The first two were printed one after the other and annealed together. The 12 rounder didn't get built until the 250 one broke. These were/are all P80 rail frames and I have 2 DD frames that have not been built out yet. All have been 43X or 48 frames except for the PETG which was a 19 clone.

Thinking on that annealing on PLA seems pointless. Though for Nylon filaments it may matter more.

I've seen a lot of boobtoob videos of frames breaking, many of which they said they were PLA. That's why I decided to not keep trying to make pla frames. Just about all of the frames I have downloaded, the designers recommended CF nylon. So that is what I tried to concentrate on.
