FlashForge Carbon Fibre PETg Filament

Made using PETG and High-Modulus Carbon Fiber, FlahForge PETG CF is a high strength, matted, easy to 3d print CF reinforced 3D printing filament.
Carbon Fibre coupled with the higher temperature handling & stiffness of PETG presents an advantage over other PLA based carbon fibre filaments that soften at lower temperatures, since PLA will soften faster than Petg & is also weaker.

This filament is ideal for anyone that desires a structural component with high modulus, excellent surface quality, dimensional stability, light weight, and ease of printing.

Petg is also easier to 3d print than Nylon in some 3d printers.

This filament is an excellent alternative to carbon fiber Nylon filaments in case you need lower moisture absorption, & higher stiffness compared to a Nylon based polymer.

Description

Chemical Resistance:  Unstressed tensile bars molded of PETG exhibit good resistance to dilute aqueous solutions of mineral acids, bases, salts, and soaps, and to aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, and a variety of oils. Halogenated hydrocarbons, short chain length ketones, and aromatic hydrocarbons dissolve or swell the plastic.

Recommended Printing parameters:

  • Extruder:  Ideally 230 to 260°C
  • Platform Temp:  70 to 90°C
  • Platform Prep:  PEI sheet recommended, PVA-based glue useful, or some Hairspray. Avoid printing directly on Glass.
  • Nozzle:  We recommend 0.6mm hardened nozzles, however 0.4 mm can be used for smaller parts.
  • Layer Height:  Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter.  We do not recommend printing layers below 0.2mm with CF Grades.
  • Carbon fiber filament is more abrasive than unfilled materials, so brass nozzles will wear faster. Stainless recommended, ideally use our hardened martensitic steel nozzles for more reliable performance.
  • Drying Instructions:  Please dry in an oven at 50C for 6 hrs before first use, & for any time you print again after extensive storage.
