Description

Gen 3 CarbonX™ PA6+CF Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon

Gen 3 CarbonX™ PA6+CF filament is formulated using a PA6 copolymer reinforced with high-modulus carbon fiber. This filament is ideal for anyone that desires a structural component with high modulus, improved chemical and thermal resistance, excellent surface quality, and ease of printing. Gen3 has higher HDT than 3DXTECH’s previous grades (147°C at .45MPa) allowing for expanded use in higher-temp applications.

Unparalleled rigidity gives designers the properties they need to make their 3D printed parts with less material and save weight without sacrificing stiffness.

Benefits of Nylon PA6+CF:

  • Excellent printability
  • High tensile strength and rigidity
  • Abrasion and wear resistance
  • Improved chemical resistance over traditional 3D printing materials
  • High thermal properties

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Filament

What Is It?

Fibers 5-10 micrometers wide made of carbon. The fibers are aligned following the axis of the material.

This, along with their physical makeup, are what give this material its excellent properties.

Recommended Print Settings:

  • Extruder: 240-270°C
  • Bed Temp: 80-110°C
  • Nozzle: We currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4mm
  • Other: Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter. We do not recommend printing layers smaller than 0.2mm with carbon fiber reinforced filaments.
  • Bed Prep: Magigoo Bed Prep Adhesive gives us the best results
  • Heated Chamber: Not required, but a heated chamber between 30-80°C allows for superior layer bonding and mechanical properties
  • Supports: Water soluble AquaTek X1 USM works great for complex parts.
  • Drying Instructions: 90°C for 4 hours.

Abrasive Material

This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.

Because of this, it’s strongly recommended this material be printed through a hard nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer’s instructions.
