Product detailed description

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.

Filament Specifications:

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

Recommended Print Settings:

• Extruder: 255-275°C
• Bed Temp: 60-70°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.
