Nylforce Carbon fiber filament is made of strong carbon fiber reinforced nylon.
Nylforce Carbon Fiber is a filament from FiberForce, an Italian manufacturer, ideal for technical and mechanical prototype prints.
Maintenance
Before using it, it is necessary to make sure that the material is completely dry. To ensure this, the filament is kept under vacuum with a silica gel bag.
However, in case of humidity, it is necessary to keep it for 6-8 hours at 85-95°C.
Then store in a dry place, preferably in a closed container containing desiccant.
Hot-ends, nozzles and fans
The Nylforce Carbon fiber filament is printed at temperatures between 250°C and 265°C.
Before using it, make sure that your hot-end and your machine are able to print this kind of filament. You may consider upgrading your machine to achieve extrusion temperatures above 240°C.
The carbon fibers contained in the filament have an abrasive effect on the nozzle during printing, so it is recommended to use nozzles made of abrasion-resistant material, such as stainless steel or hardened nozzles. Fans are not required.
Adhesion to the Platen
The filament does not adhere well to PEI, BuildTak or similar surfaces. We recommend printing on a heated (60-70 °C) glass-top surface and using specific adhesives.
Precautions
An important feature of Nylforce Carbon Fiber is the carbon fibers inside. In addition to reducing moisture absorption, they keep the printed object dimensionally stable and reduce the rate of shrinkage during printing.
Remember: Nylon filaments can be printed at temperatures lower than those indicated, but the printed parts are then fragile if not printed at high enough temperatures.
So pay attention to the temperature!
