3DXTECH CarbonX Carbon Fiber PETG 500g (1.75mm) 3D Printing Filament

DO NOT EXPECT THIS TO DO EVERYTHING!Carbon Fiber does not necessarily mean more better!Benefits are added rigidity, slightly better heat tolerance and abrasion resistance. Plus it looks coolMOST STANDARD PETG WILL BE STRONGER AS FAR AS SHOCK RESISTANCE AND INTER LAYER BONDINGThat being said, 3DXTECH did an outstanding job with this filament and any reviews you see negative are more than likely due to people who dont know what they're doing. This printed first shot out of a Hermera Revo 0.6 (dont recomend 0.4) with no tuning and has never given me a problems.Its my go to if i need an easy to print rigid material!

260 C should be the minimum listed temp, for better surface finish I use 270 C+. 80 C bed temp.Printing with Prusa Mk3s+, .4mm Diamond Nozzle, Prusa textured steel sheet. Sticks to textured sheet without glue, and is easily removable.Best for strong parts with matte surface finish (hides print lines similar to matte PLA). Strings and can be messy with smaller details.Prints surprisingly well for lower temp PETG infused with Carbon Fiber!

Great adhesion, clogged once with .4 nozzle but I was running a lower temp and my dryer was off but after that things were great! Beautiful filament will be buying more from this company. Oh and the spools are super nice too

Excellent, excellent material. Great printability, minimal stringing, good layer adhesion, amazing carbon finish. High CF content. Much stiffer than normal PETG.Likes to be printed hot (250-255C) and slow (30-35 mm/s) with no fan. Sticks very well to the Creality magnetic bed at 80C. Hardened nozzle is a must. When they say it's abrasive, they're not kidding: a roll of this stuff ground the sharp tip or my MicroSwiss supposedly wear resistant plated brass nozzle flat, losing 0.3mm in overall length (Turn off combing in your slicer to avoid dragging the nozzle over the surface. This is a nozzle killer.) I since switched to a tungsten carbide nozzle and stainless steel extruder gear for a good measure, as the brass one was starting to show wear.Made in USA!

Thus far I have gone thru 3 spools and have found the filiment is fairly reliable (good and bad). Im printing on a Prusa MK3S with a Steel E3D Nozzle X - V6-3mm x 0.50mm and PEI bed. My temps are 285/290 nozzle and 85/90 bed temps and a .3 layer height (standard prusa PETG filament settings except for layer height)My only printing complaint is bridging, it sucks big time. Ive tried a lot of different bridge settings and thus far ended up having to remove the first bridge layer if its over 10mm. The good news is that for my first three parts there is only one large bridge area which is not critical to look or strength of part.Ive included a current part printed with CarbonX PETG-CF.

This filament is stunning and strong. Make sure your printer is dialed in before trying to print any Petg but especially carbon fiber Petg. I’m running it on a Ender max Neo with an upgraded all metal sprite hot end and upgraded cooling. Printing at 245° on nozzle and 80° on the glass bed flipped over to the flat non textured side with glue stick for easy print removal. I keep the filament in a Eibos dryer while printing and 8+ hours ahead of printing to remove any moisture. Printing at .2 layer height on a .4 nozzle at 60mm per second. I’m also running Klipper on a sonic pad and pretuned input shaping and pressure advance along with pid tuning and parts cooling at 50%. If tuned and printed correctly this is the nicest filament with strength that you will ever print with.

Printing on Ender 3 Pro with Stock hot end and TS nozzle. It took me a long time to figure out print settings: 275C hot end 90C bed at 30mm/s with retraction on. I dialed it in and the prints that were successful looked great however I had a high rate of failure with prints over 2hrs long 50/50. My next issue was poor layer Adhesion. Across the board my parts delaminated with minimal force. I also had to print it really slow compared to normal petg which is a pain. Maybe other printers that can print hotter will have more success with this material but it doesn't fit the bill for my setup!

I bought 8 rolls of 3DXTECH CF Filaments. 2 each of: ABS-CF, ASA-CF, PETG-CF and ASA.This stuff prints great. I am printing on a Prusa MK3S+ and I am using the Original Prusa Enclosure.Would buy again
