How they differ on the data
Polymaker PolyMide PA6-CF runs 15°C hotter on the nozzle (window midpoints 275°C and 290°C), and the two windows share 10°C of range, so one profile can cover both. Bambu Lab PAHT-CF lists the wider window (30°C against 20°C). Bambu Lab PAHT-CF runs 52°C hotter on the bed (window midpoints 90°C and 38°C), and the windows do not overlap, so each needs its own profile. Polymaker PolyMide PA6-CF lists the wider window (25°C against 20°C).
Bambu Lab PAHT-CF ships on a 1 kg spool and Polymaker PolyMide PA6-CF on 0.75 kg, so compare price per kilogram rather than per spool.
