This carbon fiber reinforcement offers significant advantages. This filament is stiff and still impact resistant. It even shows a \u0026gt;59% improved tensile strength. AthenaX CF10 is the perfect material for 3D printing wear resistant parts. This engineering filament is very easy to 3D print on open desktop machines. No enclosure, or heated chamber needed. Its low shrinkage factor and perfect layer adhesion make AthenaX CF10 a breeze to print with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImportant key features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCTG + 10% carbon fibers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDT of 78°C \/ VICAT of 89°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStiff and Impact Resistant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e59% higher tensile strength than AthenaX.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper dimensional stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuitable applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging and containers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousings and covers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D printing end-use parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall-scale production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking tooling, equipment, and manufacturing aids.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGeneral printing guidelines *\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-bordered\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNozzle size: \u003c\/b\u003e≥ 0.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLayer height: \u003c\/b\u003e≥ 0.1mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEnclosure: \u003c\/b\u003eRecommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrint temp: \u003c\/b\u003e± 250 – 290°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeat bed: \u003c\/b\u003e± 85 – 100° C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFan speed: \u003c\/b\u003e0-100%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbon fiber reinforcement explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReinforcing filaments with carbon results in great benefits.

PCTG is moderately hygroscopic and therefore it is recommended to pre-dry the filament at 75°C for approximately 24 hours before usage for optimal results. You will get the most out of the material properties with pre-dried filaments. For optimal print results we recommend to print AthenaX CF10 filament from a drying box to avoid that the material can accumulate humidity from the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage and Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilament should be stored at room temperature in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%. Recommended storage temperature is ca. 18-25°C (64.4 -77.0°F). Keep out of moisture, sunlight and direct heat. When stored properly, product has a shelf life of 24 months. To obtain the best parameters of the printed object, it is recommended to dry the material prior to usage and to 3D print it directly from a dry box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct export information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-bordered\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHS Code:\u003c\/b\u003e 39169090\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDescription: \u003c\/b\u003eMonofilament for 3D printing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/b\u003eEuropean Union\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"FormFutura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53696409731382,"sku":"ATCF-175BLCK-01000","price":162.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/7996\/5494\/files\/AthenaXCF10.jpg?v=1771394347","url":"https:\/\/store.thinglab.com.au\/products\/formfutura-athenax-cf10-black-1-75mm-1000-gram","provider":"Thinglab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
