Package contains: 1 x CARBONX ABS+CF - Black / 1.75mm / 750g - 3DXTech
CarbonX? ABS+CF is a high performance carbon fiber reinforced ABS filament ideal for anyone who wants a high modulus structural component, 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 Sabic MG-94 premium ABS and high modulus carbon fiber.
Benefits of CarbonX? ABS+CF include:
Rigid, high-modulus, industrial-grade parts of many 3D printers available on the market today
Significantly improved stiffness, modulus and dimensional stability due to the addition of carbon fiber reinforcements
Easier to print than most industrial-grade materials
Parts can be sanded with acetone vapor
Higher melting point than PLA or PETG
Filament specifications:
Diameter: 1.75 mm (+/- 0.05 mm)
Recommended print settings:
Extruder: 220-240°C
Platen temperature: 100-110°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.
Platen preparation: it is recommended to use an adhesive
Heated chamber: recommended, a chamber helps to reduce the deformation.
Substrates: Water-soluble AquaTek X1 USM works great for complex parts.
Drying instructions: 80°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.
