3DXTECH CARBONX ASA+CF

CarbonX ASA+CF - Carbon fiber with ASA

CarbonX is made from high modulus carbon fiber and a special special ASA filament (acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate copolymer). ASA has similar properties to ABS filament, but has the considerable advantage of being advantage of being extremely weather-resistant. ASA is almost immune to UV light. The ASA carbon filament has a matt, high-quality appearance and is comparatively easy to print, similar to other ASA filaments without carbon fiber content. The addition of carbon fibers gives the filament additional stability and stability and strength and ensures an unmistakable feel and an outstanding finish. outstanding finish.

According to the manufacturer, CarbonX Nylon is suitable for use in almost any desktop 3D printer that has a heated printing plate. plate. A closed installation space and a certain amount of experience in working with 3D printers are of course helpful.

Note:

Carbon fiber-reinforced filaments are abrasive and can damage brass or aluminum nozzles more quickly with repeated use. Due to its high rigidity, the filament is under tension. Be aware of this when using it for the first time. It may be useful to fix or rewind it, depending on your spool holder. depending on your spool holder.

This CarbonX filament offers:

• UV stability and suitability for outdoor use
• Excellent strength and stiffness
• Low shrinkage and distortion, ensuring excellent dimensional stability dimensional stability
• Easier handling compared to most industrial grade industrial grade materials
• Excellent surface appearance due to the matt ASA and carbon fiber the carbon fiber

Recommended print settings:

• Extruder temperature: 235-255 °C, depending on printer possibly higher
• Bed heating temperature: 90-110 °C
• Harder nozzle: 0.4 mm or larger, e.g. from Microswiss
• Layer height: The ideal layer height is 60% of the nozzle diameter. of the nozzle diameter. It is recommended not to print layers below 0.2 mm with carbon fiber, as this can lead to increased back pressure at the hotend. at the hotend.
• Ideally, you should use a print bed carpet pad such as BuildTak or Printafix.
