United StatesThis filament is not suitable for the Prusa MK, XL and MINI series printers as the temperature needed to print this material is not attainable. Please check the printing setup if your printer is capable of printing this material.
CarbonX™ PEEK+CF10 Carbon Fiber reinforced PEEK 3D Printing Filament is one of the highest performance polymers in the plastics world. This material has outstanding mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties – making it ideal for some of the most demanding applications in any industry.
Basic Attributes
- Superior mechanical properties, even at elevated temperatures
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Low Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (CTE)
- Near Zero moisture absorption
- Low smoke and toxic gas emissions
- Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of 320°C
- Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of 143°C
- Melt Temperature (Tm) of 343°C
- PEEK has an incredible resistance to hydrolysis in boiling water and superheated steam (useful for sterilization and autoclaving) at temperatures in excess of 250°C
Printing Setup
- Extruder: 380-410°C
- Bed Temp: 130-150°C
- Nozzle: We currently recommend a hardened nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4mm.
- Other: Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter. We do not recommend printing layers smaller than 0.2mm with carbon fiber reinforced filaments.
- Heated Chamber: Recommended
- Drying Instructions: 120°C for 4 hours.
