Descrizione
CarbonX™ PC+CF is made using Sabic Lexan® polycarbonate and reinforced with premium high-modulus carbon fiber. This material offers excellent thermal properties, strength and stiffness, superior dimensional stability, and an extraordinary surface finish.
CarbonX™ PC+CF is a high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced polycarbonate filament. This material is ideal for anyone looking for a structural component with high heat resistance, 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.
The advantages of CarbonX™ PC+CF:
- High thermal properties, Polycarb itself has a Tg of 147°C
- The amorphous structure gives it a low, almost isotropic shrinkage
- Stiffness and dimensional stability further improved with the addition of carbon fiber reinforcements
- Very low odor emitted during printing
- Wide working range of 280-310°C
Recommended print settings:
- Extruder: 280-310°C
- Bed temperature: 110-120°C
- Nozzle: We currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4mm.
- Note: The ideal layer height is 60% of the nozzle diameter. It's recommended not to print layers smaller than 0.2 mm with carbon fiber-reinforced filaments.
- Bed Preparation: Magigoo Bed Preparation Adhesive, Nanopolymer Adhesive and 3DXTECH Polyimide Tape give us the best results
- Heated room: recommended
- Supports: 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 wear out very quickly compared to standard nozzles. If worn, the nozzle diameter will expand inconsistently, and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Use hardened steel nozzles with this filament to maximize head life and the quality of your prints!
For this reason, it is highly recommended to print this material through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles are often inexpensive and easily installed, depending on the printer manufacturer's instructions.
