PCTG+CF-Black- black – Fiberlogy
PCTG+CF filament is a revolutionary combination of the flexibility of PCTG and the unique properties of carbon fibre (CF). The well-known PCTG filament is enriched with 10% carbon. The material is thus much harder. In addition, the higher tensile strength compared to pure PCTG makes this filament a good choice for structures requiring increased toughness. For engineers and designers who need a material that combines performance and technical excellence, PCTG+CF filament is the answer to these requirements, paving the way for new possibilities in 3D printing. Another advantage of this filament for 3D printing is its reduced shrinkage. This makes it ideal for precision designs, especially for patterns with complex geometry. The ability to use the Fiberlogy PCTG+CF in open 3D printers further enhances its versatility, allowing it to be used in a variety of machines. Please also note that the PCTG+CF filament offers an aesthetic aspect in the form of a carbon seal coating.
Applications:
- Prototyping: functional prototypes, rapid prototyping
- Automotive: fasteners, component covers, automotive interior equipment, spare parts manufacturing
- Production support: spare parts, machine components, replacement metal parts
- Short-run production: housings for electronics, elements with complex geometry, parts and customized products
Properties:
- high hardness and tensile strength
- chemical and heat resistance
- carbon coating that hides the layers perfectly
- low shrinkage and ability to be used in almost any 3D printer
- easy mechanical post-processing of the print
How to print PCTG+GF?
The following parameters are only suggested print settings for this material. To ensure the best print quality, it is necessary to select the appropriate settings for the specific printer and printing conditions.
- Nozzle temperature 250-270°C
- Layer temperature 90-110°C
- No closed chamber required
- Fan 0-25%
- Flow rate 90-100%
- Print speed 35-60 mm/s
- Surface masking tape,
- PVA glue,
- Retraction (direct) 1-2 mm
- Retraction (bowden) 3-5 mm
- Retraction speed 20-45 mm/s
- Drying conditions 60°C / 4h
Notes:The material has highly abrasive properties. We recommend the use of hardened steel or ruby nozzles. Due to the strong adhesion to the bed, it is not recommended to print directly on its surface or on glass. This can lead to failure. We recommend using masking tape.
