CarbonX™ Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene (PP+CF) 3D Filament

CarbonX™ PP+CF is made using a specialty formulated polypropylene copolymer reinforced with high-modulus chopped carbon fiber. This filament is based on a patent-pending formulation that offers improved thermal properties and low shrinkage/warp compared to competitive PP-based compounds.

The reels contain 750g of filament, but based on the very low density of PP+CF, this is the same amount of filament that would typically be found on a 1kg reel of ABS. This allows you to print light-weight and exceptionally rigid parts for medical, drones, watercraft, automotive, or any application which would benefit from a light weight, stiff, chemically resistant material.>

Benefits of PP+CF Include:

  •  Excellent resistance against a huge variety of chemicals
  •  Low density and weight
  •  Easier to print than most flexible materials and suitable for use with practically any 3D printer
  •  Typically does not absorb moisture, no drying required!
  •  High strength and stiffness

Chemical Resistance of PP+CF

 Since properties can change depending on print environment and 3D model geometry and/or surface area, it is always required to do your own testing, but Polypropylene is famous for its chemical resistances to a huge range of environments including:

  •  Acids: Acetic, Boric, Hydrochloric, Phosphoric, Stearic, Sulfuric, Uric
  •  Bases: Hydrocides of Ammonium, Barium, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium
  •  Solvents: Acetone, Ethanol, MEK, Phenol (10%), Water

Filament Specifications:

1.75mm and 2.85mm +/- 0.05mm in diameter

Recommended Print Settings:

  • Extruder: 220-250°C
  • Bed Temp: 23-60°C
  • Nozzle: We highly 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 gives us the best results
  • Heated Chamber: Not required
  • Drying Instructions: 4+ Hours at 65°C
