STYX PA6-CGF is a high-performance glass fiber-reinforced PA6 filament. The added glass fibers make this filament strong and stiff, without being brittle. This engineering filament is very easy to 3D print on open desktop machines.
No enclosure, or heated chamber is needed. Its low shrinkage factor and perfect layer adhesion make STYX PA6-GF30 a breeze to print with.
Important key featuresReinforced with 30% glass fibersHigh compressive strengthHeat resistant up to 180°CHigh wear, tear, and abrasion resistanceExcellent chemical resistanceEasy to print on open desktop 3D printers Suitable applicationsAutomotive partsConnectors and switchesHousings for electronic devicesGear wheels, bearings, and sliding elements3D printing machinery partsDynamically stressed parts Glass fiber reinforcement explainedReinforcing filaments with glass fibers results in great benefits.
It combines the unique properties of both materials. The properties of the thermoplastic improve with everything glass fibers offer.
Glass fibers offer lots of benefits, such as:Increasing stiffnessIncreasing strengthIncreasing dimensional stabilityReducing shrinkage / warpingIncreasing chemical resistanceIncreasing heat resistanceMasking layer lines with a matt surface finish in 3D printed objectsThis makes glass fiber reinforced filaments perfect for 3D printing applications that require mechanicalstrength and stiffness.
General printing guidelines*Nozzle size: ≥ 0.1mmLayer height: ≥ 0.05mmEnclosure 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 glass fiber reinforced filaments contain a relatively high concentration of extremely hard glass fibers, which have an abrasive nature.
In general these glass 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.
