CarbonX™ ASA+CF Carbon Fiber Reinforced ASA

CarbonX™ ASA+CF is a high-performance carbon fiber reinforced ASA [acrylonitrile styrene acrylate] filament ideal for anyone that desires a structural component with high modulus, excellent surface quality, dimensional stability, light weight, and ease of printing. Made using 15% High-Modulus Carbon Fiber (not carbon powder or milled carbon fiber). Made using our very popular ASA resin and premium carbon fiber.

Gearbox HT2™ 3D Printer: Print industrial-grade parts using our ASA+CF and more with the new Gearbox™ HT2 High-Temp 3D Printer.

Benefits of CarbonX™ ASA+CF Include:

ASA is UV-stable and suitable for outside use
Stiff, high-modulus, industrial-grade parts
Suitable for use on practically all desktop 3d printers
Greatly improved stiffness, modulus, and dimensional stability thanks to the addition of carbon fiber reinforcement
Easier to print than most industrial-grade materials
Excellent surface appearance due to matte ASA and carbon fiber

Filament Specifications:

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

Recommended Print Settings:

Extruder: 235-255°C
Bed Temp: 90-110°C
Nozzle: We currently 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 Adhesive gives us the best results
Heated Chamber: Recommended, a chamber helps reduce warping.
Supports: Water soluble AquaTek X1 USM works great for complex parts.
Drying Instructions: 80°C for 4 hours.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Filament

What Is It?

Fibers 5-10 micrometers wide made of carbon. The fibers are aligned following the axis of the material.

This, along with their physical makeup, are what give this material its excellent properties.

What Does It Do?

Carbon Fibers demonstrate a lot of desirable material properties:

High stiffness
High tensile strength
High heat tolerance
High chemical resistance
Low weight
Low thermal expansion

How Does It Work?

Reinforcing plastic with carbon fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both the carbon fibers and the plastic of choice.

What Is It Good For?

Ideal for any applications which require light weight and rigidity.

Carbon fiber reinforced parts, designed to use less material and save weight, is extremely popular in aerospace, civil engineering, the military, and motorsports.

Abrasive Material

This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.

Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
