MTU V6 aluminum bars

so I just started printing the MTU v5 and I noticed that they are using aluminum bars as the throttle lever is there any reason I couldn't use carbon fiber PETG? I can get it somewhat cheaply at 3dxtech which is about 5 miles away from my house

Hi Zoey,

The reason for using the ally rods is to give rigidity to the levers. If the carbon fiber is stiff enough then no reason not to use it. Even if it flexes a little but you can accept that then all is good.
