Dutch colorFabb just released their new carbon fiber 3d printing filament that gives new properties and deep matte black finish. |
| The print quality looks great but there are no independent tests or reviews |
Here are the main features of XT-CF20 and technical specifications:
- ColorFabb XT CF20 is a copolyester based carbon fiber composite material that is based on the unique Amphora 3D polymer from Eastman Chemical and is loaded with no less than 20% specially sourced carbon fibers suitable for 3D Printing.
- Extreme High Flex Modulus (6.2 GPa) / twice as stiff as PLA
- Moderate strain at break (8-10%), so no extreme brittle filament, butt toughness
- High Glass Temp. (Tg = 80C)
- Very high Melt strength
- Very high Melt Viscosity
- Good dimensional accuracy and stability
- Low odor / Styrene Free solution
- Easy processing on many platforms
- High attractive matt black surface
- Diameter Tolerance: ± 0.05 mm
- Density: 1.370 g/cm3
- Glass Transition Temperature: 75C
- Price: 49,95 euro
One thing to keep in mind that this type of filament is abrasive and will wear out your brass nozzle much sooner then common thermopolymers, PLA, ABS and others.
