3DXTECH CARBONX PA6+CF GEN 3 [CARBON FIBER NYLON] 1.75mm. 1kg Black

Gen 3 CarbonX™ PA6+CF Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon

Gen 3 CarbonX™ PA6+CF filament is formulated using a PA6 copolymer reinforced with high-modulus carbon fiber. This filament is ideal for anyone that desires a structural component with high modulus, improved chemical and thermal resistance, excellent surface quality, and ease of printing. Gen3 has higher HDT than our previous grades (147°C at .45MPa) allowing for expanded use in higher-temp applications.

Unparalleled rigidity gives designers the properties they need to make their 3D printed parts with less material and save weight without sacrificing stiffness.

• Excellent printability
• High tensile strength and rigidity
• Abrasion and wear resistance
• Improved chemical resistance over traditional 3D printing materials
• High thermal properties

Abrasive Material

This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.

Filament Specifications:

1.75mm and 2.85mm +/- 0.05mm in diameter

Recommended Print Settings:

• Extruder: 240-270°C
• Bed Temp: 80-110°C
• Nozzle: We currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4mm
• Other: Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter. We do not recommend printing layers smaller than 0.2mm with carbon fiber reinforced filaments.
• Bed Prep: Magigoo Bed Prep Adhesive gives us the best results
• Heated Chamber: Not required, but a heated chamber between 30-80°C allows for superior layer bonding and mechanical properties
• Supports: Water soluble AquaTek X1 USM works great for complex parts.
• Drying Instructions: 90°C for 4 hours.
