Based on colorFabb_XT, XT-CF20 is a carbon fiber composite material. Loaded with no less than 20% specially sourced carbon fibers we have developed a very stiff and tough 3D printing filament made for functional parts. It is truly a professional printers go-to material, especially for users looking for high melt strength, high melt viscosity and good dimensional accuracy and stability.
Please note: A special point of attention is the abrasive nature of the carbon fibers. In general these fibers will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments. We recommend to use from stainless steel nozzles or nozzles made with hardened copper alloys.

At colorFabb we have a well equipped 3d printing studio with a lot of popular 3d printers. We know our materials will give you excellent results and to help you get these results here are tips and trick for using colorFabb 3d printing filament.
Advised 3D printing temperature
240-260C
Advised 3d print speed
40 - 100 mm/s
Advised Heated bed
60-70C
Cooling fan
TIP! For colorFabb_XT we advice to print on a heated bed. After printing, the build plate needs to cool down to about 20-30 C at which point you can remove the printed part.
Nothing will impact your 3D printing results like the kind of filament you use. Good filament is highly consistent in diameter, is wound evenly onto the spool with just the right amount of tension, and will not tangle when being unwound. 3D Universe offers a wide range of high-quality filaments to choose from.
