FormFutura CarbonFil Carbon Fiber PETG
FormFutura CarbonFil is a 15% carbon fiber reinforced PETG based 3D printer filament that is extremely stiff. CarbonFil 3D prints 3D prints with a high dimensional accuracy and virtually no warping.
Based upon the unique PETG blend of the HDglass compound and reinforced with 15% ultra-light and relatively long stringer carbon fibres, CarbonFil in an exceptionally stiff carbon-fibre reinforced 3D printer filament.
CarbonFil is twice as stiff as HDglass and yet it is even 10% more impact resistant, which is a remarkable feature for carbon-fibre reinforced filament.
Unique features
- Reinforced with 15% ultra-lightweight and relatively long carbon fibre stringers
- Extremely stiff
- Two times as stiff as HDglass (or even more compared to other PETG-based filaments)
- Great impact resistance
- 10% more impact resistant than HDglass (or even more compared to other PETG-based filaments)
- Very easy to print
- Nearly warp-free, improved thermal stability, nearly perfect first layer and inter-layer adhesion
- Good first layer adhesion to a heated glass print bed and many other surfaces
- Heat deflection temperature of ± 85° C
- Great dimensional stability
Abrasiveness
Please be aware that CarbonFil filaments contain a relatively high concentration of extremely hard carbon fibres, which have an abrasive nature. In general these carbon fibres will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments. We recommend to use nozzles from stainless steel or other hardened alloys.
