Black 1.75mm 3DXTech Obsidian™ PA6+CF Nylon Filament – 1kg

3DXTech Obsidian™ PA6+CF is a carbon fiber reinforced nylon filament engineered for demanding functional 3D printing applications. Built around a PA6 nylon base and reinforced with chopped carbon fiber, this material delivers enhanced stiffness, dimensional stability, strength, and heat resistance compared to standard nylon filaments.

Designed for engineers, makers, print farms, and advanced users, Obsidian™ PA6+CF offers excellent layer adhesion and reduced warping while maintaining the toughness nylon is known for. The matte black surface finish also produces professional-looking parts with reduced visible layer lines.

Whether you are producing prototypes, tooling, brackets, fixtures, automotive components, or end-use mechanical parts, this high-performance engineering filament is built to handle demanding environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Carbon fiber reinforced PA6 nylon formulation
• Excellent stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio
• Improved dimensional stability compared to unfilled nylon
• Matte surface finish with reduced layer visibility
• High heat resistance for functional applications
• Lower warping than traditional nylon materials
• Strong interlayer bonding and mechanical durability
• Suitable for advanced desktop and professional FDM printers
• Excellent for structural and engineering-grade prints

Designed for Functional & Engineering Applications

Obsidian™ PA6+CF is ideal for users who require strong, lightweight, and durable printed components.

Common applications include:

• Functional prototypes
• Manufacturing fixtures and jigs
• Automotive parts
• Robotics components
• Structural brackets
• Aerospace and drone components
• Mechanical housings
• Production tooling
• Custom machine parts
• RC and motorsport components

The added carbon fiber reinforcement improves rigidity while helping minimize shrinkage and deformation during printing.

Print Quality & Material Performance

This filament is engineered for reliable performance on capable high-temperature 3D printers. The carbon fiber reinforcement improves print consistency and creates crisp edges with a premium matte finish.

Compared to standard nylon materials, PA6+CF offers:

• Better dimensional accuracy
• Reduced warping and shrinkage
• Improved rigidity
• Enhanced layer stability
• Cleaner surface appearance

Because nylon materials absorb moisture, proper filament storage and drying are recommended for best print quality and optimal layer adhesion.

Compatibility & Printing Recommendations

3DXTech Obsidian™ PA6+CF is compatible with many enclosed desktop and industrial FDM 3D printers capable of processing engineering-grade materials.

Recommended setup considerations include:

• Hardened steel or abrasion-resistant nozzle recommended
• Heated bed required
• Enclosed build chamber recommended for large parts
• Filament dryer or dry box strongly recommended
• Compatible with 1.75mm FDM/FFF 3D printers

This material is best suited for experienced users or advanced hobbyists familiar with nylon and composite filament workflows.

Why Users Choose 3DXTech Obsidian™ PA6+CF

Users choose Obsidian™ PA6+CF when they need a balance of strength, rigidity, thermal resistance, and professional print quality. The carbon fiber reinforcement helps create lightweight yet highly durable parts while improving print stability compared to conventional nylons.
