carbon fiber what.....

PETG, Nylon, ect.

For most of the common ones a harden nozzle should be about the only change you need. Fiber filaments prefer larger diameters, less chance to plug up. Plus the K1 has a pretty good build volume, so probably a .6-.8 would be a good choice assuming your fine with a little loss on fine details.

Anytime you print with abrasives you are looking at needing a hardened nozzle of some variety and a hardened extruder gear.
