CarbonX™ ASA+CF is made using our popular ASA compounded with high-modulus carbon fiber. This material offers excellent UV-stability, matte surface finish, ease of printing, strength & stiffness, coupled with superior dimensional stability. We found our new favorite material to print structural parts!
CarbonX™ ASA+CF is a high-performance carbon fiber reinforced ASA [acrylonitrile styrene acrylate] filament ideal for anyone that desires a structural component with high modulus, 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 using our very popular ASA resin and premium carbon fiber.
Benefits of CarbonX™ ASA+CF Include:
Stiff, high-modulus, industrial-grade parts off many 3D printers available on the market today
Greatly improved stiffness, modulus, and dimensional stability thanks to the addition of carbon fiber reinforcement
Easier to print than most industrial-grade materials
ASA is UV-stable and suitable for outside use
Excellent surface appearance due to matte ASA and carbon fiber
Filament Specifications:
1.75mm and 2.85mm in diameter, 750g and 2kg spools, Black.
Heated Chamber: Recommended, a chamber helps reduce warping.
Supports: Water-soluble AquaTek™ PVA works great for complex parts.
Drying Instructions: 80°C for 4 hours.
Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Standard brass nozzles can be chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter widens inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues. Use hardened steel nozzles with this filament to maximize toolhead life and quality of your prints!
You'll want a hardened nozzle for this — glass and carbon fibers eat brass nozzles. The copper-core CHT-style nozzle below also keeps flow up on high-temp materials.
