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

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

CarbonX? PETG+CF is made in the USA using premium PETG and high modulus carbon fiber (not carbon powder or milled carbon fiber). CarbonX? PETG+CF is a CF reinforced 3D printing filament that is improved over the competition. This filament is ideal for anyone who wants a structural component with high modulus, excellent surface quality, dimensional stability, light weight and ease of printing.
Benefits of CarbonX? PETG+CF include:
Superior chemical resistance compared to ABS
Amorphous structure giving it low shrinkage, nearly isotropic
Low moisture absorption, 3 times less than ABS
Very low odor during printing
Wide processing range from 230-270°C
Chemical resistance of PETG:
Unstressed tensile bars printed in PETG exhibit good resistance to dilute aqueous solutions of mineral acids, bases, salts and soaps and to aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols and a variety of oils. Halogenated hydrocarbons, short chain ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons dissolve or swell the plastic.
Filament specifications:
Diameter: 1.75 mm (+/- 0.05 mm)
Recommended print settings:
Extruder: 230-260°C
Platen temperature: 70-90°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 lower than 0.2 mm with carbon fiber reinforced filaments.
Surface Preparation: We recommend the use of an adhesive
Heated Chamber: Not required
Media: Water soluble AquaTek X1 USM works great for complex parts.
Drying instructions: 65°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.
