Package contains: 1 x FIBREX PES+GF30 - Natural / 1.75mm / 750g - 3DXTech
FibreX? PES+GF30 made specifically for 3D printing. Hand-selected fiberglass and PES base resin to ensure the material prints well and delivers optimal performance. This material prints best using a heated build chamber and we highly recommend using the Gearbox? HT2 to ensure the best layer adhesion, strength and dimensional stability. We consider FibreX? PES+GF30 an excellent alternative to more expensive materials such as PEI and PEEK.
Advantages of FibreX? PES+GF30:
Exceptional strength and stiffness, even at elevated temperatures up to 220°C
High thermal properties: Tg: 220°C, HDT: 216°C [Superior to Ultem?!]
Inherently flame retardant: the polymer will not sustain ignition
Hydrolytic stability ? resistant to steam and repeated autoclaving
Amorphous ? Excellent dimensional stability and low shrinkage
Filament specifications:
Diameter: 1.75 mm (+/- 0.05 mm)
Recommended print settings:
Extruder: 370-390°C
Platen temperature: 140-160°C
Platen preparation: nanopolymer adhesive
Heated chamber: recommended up to 225°C [A high temperature heated chamber will provide the best environment for the lowest warp and optimal bonding of layers. If your printer's chamber cannot reach 225°C, turn it up as high as possible for best results].
Supports: high temperature support ThermaX? HTS
Drying instructions: 150°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.
