Description

AthenaX CF10 combines all benefits of FormFutura AthenaX filament plus 10% carbon fibers. This engineering filament is very easy to prints, stiff and impact resistant.

The 10% carbon fiber reinforcement offers significant advantages such as:

• Increasing stiffness
• Reducing weight
• Increasing tensile strength
• Increasing dimensional stability
• Reducing shrinkage / warping
• Increasing heat resistance
• Increasing chemical resistance
• Masking layer lines with a matt surface finish in 3D printed objects

Note

Abrasiveness

Please be aware that carbon fiber reinforced filaments contain a relatively high concentration of extremely hard carbon fibers, which have an abrasive nature. In general these carbon fibers will accelerate the nozzlewear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments. We
recommend to use ruby nozzles or hardened steel nozzles.

Pre-drying AthenaX CF10

AthenaX CF10 is a PCTG based filament plus 10% added carbon fibers. 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 CF10 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.
