CARBONX PETG+CF

CarbonX™ PETG+CF Carbon Fiber Reinforced Co-Polyester

CarbonX™ PETG+CF is made in the USA using premium PETG and High-Modulus Carbon Fiber (not carbon powder or milled carbon fiber). CarbonX™ PETG+CF is an improved CF reinforced 3D printing filament vs. the competition. This filament is ideal for anyone that desires a structural component with high modulus, excellent surface quality, dimensional stability, light weight, and ease of printing.

Chemical Resistance of PETG:

Unstressed tensile bars molded of PETG exhibit good resistance to dilute aqueous solutions of mineral acids, bases, salts, and soaps, and to aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, and a variety of oils. Halogenated hydrocarbons, short chain length ketones, and aromatic hydrocarbons dissolve or swell the plastic.

Filament Specifications:

• Diameter: 1.75mm
• Diameter Tolerance: +/- 0.05mm
• Weight: 750g

Recommended Print Settings:

• Extruder: 230-260°C
• Bed Temp: 70-90°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
• Supports: Water soluble AquaTek X1 USM works great for complex parts.
• Drying Instructions: 65°C for 4 hours.
