I wonder how much of a difference there is between the CF/PLA and CF/ABS?

How quickly are your nozzles deteriorating and are you lubricating them between and during prints? I have run almost 2 spools and not had a problem with my nozzles yet. I know it is a matter of time but am wondering what the contributing factors might be.

Thats a good question on the differences between the two. Sadly I cant test that as I'm not set up for ABS.

I replace my nozzle after every roll. It may be a bit excessive, but I start to notice a bit of a drop in quality after a roll when switching back to PLA. I could get another half roll or so of CF out of it, but rather be safe when it comes to quality of print, and its easy to say "after a roll, replace".
