CarbonX™ PA6+CF [Gen3] is made using a specialty Nylon 6 [PA6] copolymer and high-modulus carbon fiber. This is the go-to material for industrial applications that require superior thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance properties while retaining the ease of printing that you’ve come to expect.
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.
Benefits of Nylon PA6+CF:
Excellent printability
High tensile strength and rigidity
Abrasion and wear resistance
Improved chemical resistance over traditional 3D printing materials
High thermal properties
This product contains 500 grams of filament. 2.85mm and 1KG Available on order only. (Lead time: <7 days)
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 ahardened steel nozzlewith 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 Adhesivegives 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-solubleAquaTek X1 USMworks great for complex parts.
Drying Instructions: 90°C for 4 hours
Carbon Fiber Filament
What Is It?
Fibers 5-10 micrometers wide made of carbon. The fibers are aligned following the axis of the material. This, along with their physical makeup, are what gives this material its excellent properties.
What Does It Do?
Carbon Fibers demonstrate a lot of desirable material properties:
High stiffness
High tensile strength
High heat tolerance
High chemical resistance
Low weight
Low thermal expansion
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with carbon fibers produces a 3D printing filament that exhibits the best properties of both the carbon fibers and the plastic of choice.
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require lightweight and rigidity. Carbon fiber reinforced parts, designed to use less material and save weight, are extremely popular in aerospace, civil engineering, the military, and motorsports.
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. Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardenedsteel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
The shipment delivery was fast and efficient. They even called me before shipping the order to let me know when the order will be dispatched and estimated time of arrival. Very happy with their service.
