Kratos PC CF10 offers all benefits of our Kratos PC plus 10% added carbon fibers. It utilizes our low warp technology plus added carbon fibers. This results in a unique set of properties.
You can 3D print big parts that are very stiff and impact resistant. This makes Carbon filled Polycarbonate a true advanced engineering filament.Kratos PC CF10 has a good resistance to moisture, UV, chemicals, and abrasion.
This Polycarbonate filament is perfect for 3D printing parts used in demanding operating conditions. It is also heat-resistant up to 150 °C. With Kratos PC CF10 you can 3D print large and durable parts.
Detailed parts with a high dimensional accuracy and almost no warping.

- 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.Pre-drying
- Kratos PCKratos PC
- CF is a hygroscopic filament and therefore it is necessary to pre-dry the filament at
- 75°C forapproximately 24 hours before usage. For optimal print results we recommend to print
- Kratos PC filament from a drying box to avoid that the material can accumulate humidity from the environment
- Abrasiveness and nozzle sizePlease 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 nozzlewear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments
- We recommend to use ruby nozzles or hardened steel nozzles.We advise to use at least a
- 0.6mm nozzle for carbon fiber filled filaments
- Buildplate adhesionFor optimal buildplate adhesion we recommend to use a dedicated
- PC buildplate adhesive and to print a brim around your model
- The brim is advised to hold down the edges of your part, which can prevent warping and help improve bed adhesion.Enclosure recommended for large(r) prints.Kratos
- PC can be
- 3D printed on open printers without a closed chamber for small(er) parts. For large(r) parts we do recommend to use a
- 3D printer with closed chamber.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.Product export informationHS
