Fiberon PA6-CF20 Black Filament 1.75mm 1kg

The Fiberon PA6-CF20 Black from Polymaker is a carbon fiber-reinforced nylon filament for demanding technical applications in 3D printing. It is based on PA6 (Nylon 6) with a 20% carbon fiber content, providing the material with exceptional stiffness and strength. The diameter is 1.75 mm, and the spool contains a net weight of 1 kg. Due to the carbon fiber reinforcement, this filament significantly surpasses the mechanical properties of conventional technical plastics. The deep black color emphasizes the technical nature of the printed components. For optimal results, annealing at 100 °C for 16 hours is recommended to achieve maximum strength and heat resistance of the printed parts. The material is moisture-sensitive and should be stored at a relative humidity below 20%. Before printing, drying at 100 °C for at least ten hours is required. Due to the abrasive carbon fibers, the use of a wear-resistant nozzle made of hardened steel or with a ruby insert is mandatory, as brass nozzles last only about nine hours of print time. The manufacturer recommends PolyDissolve S1 as support material, with support structures to be removed promptly after printing to prevent moisture absorption.
