Description

Description

Based on colorFabb_XT, XT-CF20 is a carbon fiber composite material. Loaded with no less than 20% specially sourced carbon fibers we have developed a very stiff and tough 3D printing filament made for functional parts. It is truly a professional printers go-to material, especially for users looking for high melt strength, high melt viscosity and good dimensional accuracy and stability.

APPLICATIONS :

Just think of all the great applications for a variety industries, that now will have a material that performs according to expectations. Functionality, stiffness, dimensional stability, heat resistant, what more can you ask? Applications in the RC Industry / Drones / Aerospace / Automotive / Prototyping and many more can now be developed on your desktop 3D Printer.

Property Value
Diameter 1.75mm ± 0.05
Minimum Weight 750g
Processing Temp. 240 - 260°C
Stiffness 6.2GPa
Tg 80°C

Please note:

- A special point of attention is the abrasive nature of the carbon fibers. In general these fibers will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments. We recommend to use from stainless steel nozzles or nozzles made with hardened copper alloys

My go to filament

This is my go to filament for making accurate functional prints, bed adhesion is easy on multiple surfaces and inter layer adhesion is very strong. Very easy to print with, just make sure you are using a suitable abrasion resistant nozzle. Parts end up very light and rigid, dimensional accuracy is stunning, overhang ability is decent and the final part has a very attractive matt black/grey look to it. It takes a lot of force to break but it will snap rather than bend or give way, so I suspect that the nylon CF filaments are probably more durable, albeit less rigid.

I initially had big problems with the filament building up on the nozzle and every now and again getting stuck onto the print - at best this meant some extra post processing and at worst it caused several failed prints where steps ended up being lost due to collision etc, or you had to babysit the print and tweeze the nozzle every so often. I endlessly played around with retract and wipe settings etc, but with no joy.

Since I started to dry my filament using a food drier, I noticed not only did the print quality go up but it also completely stopped the nozzle build up I was getting. So I recommend making sure this filament is really nice and dry before 3D printing - you'll get beautiful quality prints and much less hassle.
