FormFutura® CarbonFil

Our CarbonFil filament is based upon the unique PETG blend of our HDglass compound and is reinforced with 15% ultra-light and relatively long stringer carbon fibres, which has resulted in an exceptionally stiff carbon-fibre reinforced 3D printer filament. CarbonFil is twice as stiff as HDglass and yet it is even 10% more impact resistant, which is a remarkable feature for carbon-fibre reinforced filament.

Unique features

• Reinforced with 15% ultra-lightweight and relatively long carbon fibre stringers

• Extremely stiff

• Two times as stiff as HDglass (or even more compared to other PETG-based filaments)

• Great impact resistance

• 10% more impact resistant than HDglass (or even more compared to other PETG-based filaments)

• Very easy to print

• Nearly warp-free, improved thermal stability, nearly perfect first layer and inter-layer adhesion

  • Good first layer adhesion to a heated glass print bed and many other surfaces

• Heat deflection temperature of ± 85° C

• Great dimensional stability

*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.

Nozzle cleaning

When printing with filled/composite filaments it is recommended to clean your nozzle immediately after printing by feeding 15-20cm PLA filament through your nozzle. This will make sure that any potential fillers are flown out of your nozzle. It is even better to use glow in the dark PLA as the extremely hard phosphorous particles are much more likely to scrape out residual waste from your nozzle.

Compliance *

This filament is compliant to below listed directives and regulations.

• RoHS directive 2011/65/EC

• REACH directive 1907/2006/EC
