CARBONX PC+CF - Black / 1.75mm / 750g - 3DXTech

Package contains: 1 x CARBONX PC+CF - Black / 1.75mm / 750g - 3DXTech

CarbonX? PC+CF is a high performance carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate filament. This material is ideal for anyone wanting a structural component with high heat, high stiffness, excellent surface quality and dimensional stability. Polycarbonate has a Tg of 147°C and offers some of the highest thermal performance on the 3D printing market.
Benefits of CarbonX? PC+CF include:
High thermal properties, Polycarb itself has a Tg of 147°C
The amorphous structure gives it a low, nearly isotropic shrinkage
Stiffness and dimensional stability further improved with the addition of carbon fiber reinforcements
Very low odor emission during printing
Wide processing range of 280-310°C
Filament specifications:
Diameter: 1.75 mm (+/- 0.05 mm)
Recommended print settings:
Extruder: 280-310°C
Platen temperature: 110-120°C
Nozzle: we currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4 mm.
Other: the ideal layer height is 60% of the nozzle diameter. It is not recommended to print layers smaller than 0.2 mm with carbon fiber reinforced filaments.
Platen Preparation: We recommend the use of an adhesive or poly tape
Heated Chamber: Recommended
Media: Water soluble AquaTek X1 USM works great for complex parts.
Drying instructions: 120°C for 4 hours.
Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find that standard brass nozzles are chewed up very quickly compared to standard wear. If worn, the nozzle diameter will expand inconsistently and the printer will encounter extrusion problems.
For this reason, we strongly recommend printing this material through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easy to install depending on the printer manufacturer's instructions.
