CF15 PA12 Pellets [15% Carbon Fiber Nylon 12]
Ideal for home extrusion enthusiasts. Make your own CF-Nylon filament with a home-extruder such as the Filabot and Filastruder or others that are set-up for high-temp extrusion.
Processing Recommendations:
- Pre-dry before extrusion at 90°C for 4-6 hours. A toaster oven works fine for this. Do your family a favor and do not dry the resin in your kitchen oven! (Wet material will extrude with bubbles present in the filament. If this happens, dry the resin more before processing.)
- Extrusion Temp: 220-240°C (depending upon how your heater bands, thermocouple, and PID are configured.)
Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
