Product detailed description

CarbonX™ ABS+CF Carbon Fiber Reinforced ABS

CarbonX™ ABS+CF is a high-performance carbon fiber reinforced ABS filament ideal for anyone that desires a structural component with high modulus, excellent surface quality, dimensional stability, light weight, and ease of printing. Made using 15% High-Modulus Carbon Fiber (not carbon powder or milled carbon fiber). Made in the USA using premium Sabic MG-94 ABS and high modulus carbon fiber.

Benefits of CarbonX™ ABS+CF Include:

• Stiff, high-modulus, industrial-grade parts off many 3D printers available on the market today
• Greatly improved stiffness, modulus, and dimensional stability thanks to the addition of carbon fiber reinforcement
• Easier to print than most industrial-grade materials
• Parts can be smoothed with acetone vapors
• Higher melting point than PLA or PETG

Filament Specifications:

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

Recommended Print Settings:

• Extruder: 220-240°C
• Bed Temp: 100-110°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: Recommended, a chamber helps reduce warping.
• Supports: Water soluble AquaTek X1 USM works great for complex parts.
• Drying Instructions: 80°C for 4 hours.
