CarbonFil - 1.75mm

FormFutura CarbonFil filament is based upon the unique PETG blend of our HDglass compound and is reinforced with 20% ultra-light and relatively long stringer carbon fibres, which has resulted in an exceptionally stiff carbon-fibre reinforced 3D printer filament. CarbonFil is twice as stiff as HDglass and yet it is even 10% more impact resistant, which is a remarkable feature for carbon-fibre reinforced filament.

Unique features

• Reinforced with 20% ultra-lightweight and relatively long carbon fibre stringers

• Extremely stiff – twice as stiff as HDglass (or even more compared to other PETG-based filaments)

• Great impact resistance – 10% more impact resistant than HDglass (or even more compared to other PETG-based filaments)

• Very easy to print – nearly warp-free, improved thermal stability, nearly perfect first layer and inter-layer adhesion

• Good first layer adhesion to a heated glass print bed and many other surfaces

• Heat deflection temperature of ± 85° C

• Great dimensional stability

Printing Guidelines

• Print temp: ± 230 – 265° C
• Heat bed: ± 0 – 60° C
• Layer height: ≥ 0.3mm
• Print speed: High
• Fan speed: 50-100%
• Flow rate: ± 100%
• Retraction: Yes ± 6mm
• Experience level: Beginner

Abrasiveness

Please be aware that CarbonFil filaments contain a relatively high concentration of extremely hard carbon fibres, which have an abrasive nature. In general these carbon fibres will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments. We recommend to use nozzles from stainless steel or other hardened alloys.
