STYX PA6-CF15 is a high-performance carbon fiber reinforced PA6 filament.The use of high modulus carbon fibers result in an unmatched strength and stiffness. 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 STYX PA6-CF15 a breeze to print with.
Important key features200% stiffer than standard PA6Heat resisant up to 180°CHigh strength and resistance to abrasionHigh chemical and corrosion resistanceEasy to print on open desktop 3D printers Suitable applicationsCreating parts for automotiveHigh performance functional componentsGear wheels, bearings, and sliding elements3D printing machinery partsDynamically stressed parts Carbon fiber reinforcement explainedReinforcing filaments with carbon results in great benefits.
It combines the unique properties of both materials. The properties of the thermoplastic improve with everything carbon fibers offer.
Carbon fibers offer lots of benefits, such as:Increasing stiffnessReducing weightIncreasing tensile strengthIncreasing dimensional stabilityReducing shrinkage / warpingIncreasing heat resistanceIncreasing chemical resistanceMasking layer lines with a matt surface finish in 3D printed objectsThis makes carbon fiber reinforced filaments perfect for 3D printing applications that require stiffness and lightweight properties.
General printing guidelines*Nozzle size: ≥ 0.4mmLayer height: ≥ 0.1mmEnclosure needed: NoPrint temp: ± 255 – 295° CFan speed: 0% – 30%Heat bed: ± 90 – 110°C*) 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.AbrasivenessPlease be aware that carbon fiber reinforced filaments contain a relatively high concentration of extremely hard carbon fibers, which have an abrasive nature.
In general these carbon fibers will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments.
We recommend to use ruby nozzles or hardened steel nozzles.Product Video Storage and handlingFilament 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.
