Description

AthenaX GF10 combines all benefits of FormFutura AthenaX filament plus 10% glass fibers. This glass fiber reinforcement has significant advantages. It offers not only great electrical and thermal insulation properties. Your 3D printed parts will not only be stiff, strong and durable. They will also be resistant to wear and chemicals.

This engineering filament is very easy to 3D print on open desktop machines. No enclosure, or heated chamber needed. Its low shrinkage factor and perfect layer adhesion make AthenaX GF10 a breeze to print with both on desktop and large format 3D printers.

Note

Pre-drying AthenaX GF10

AthenaX is a PCTG based filament. PCTG is moderately hygroscopic and therefore it is recommended to pre-dry the filament at 75°C for approximately 24 hours before usage for optimal results. You will get the most out of the material properties with pre-dried filaments. For optimal print results we recommend to print AthenaX filament from a drying box to avoid that the material can accumulate humidity from the environment.

Storage and handling

Filament should be stored at room temperature in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%. Recommended storage temperature is ca. 18-25°C (64.4 -77.0°F). Keep out of moisture, sunlight and direct heat. When stored properly, product has a shelf life of 24 months. To obtain the best parameters of the printed object, it is recommended to dry the material prior to usage and to 3D print it directly from a dry box.
