Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 Black 0.5 kg

Fiberon PA6-CF20 is a nylon 6 filament filled with 20% carbon fibre. It prints stiff, strong parts that hold their shape up to 215°C. Polymaker's Fiber Adhesion technology gives it great layer bonding. It is the same formula as PolyMide PA6-CF, now under the Fiberon name, and it may print a slightly darker black.

What's Included

• 1 × 0.5 kg spool of Fiberon PA6-CF20, 1.75 mm
• Recycled cardboard spool with rubber reinforced edges for better AMS compatibility
• Resealable bag and desiccant pack, packed in a Fiberon box

Print Settings

• Nozzle: 280-300°C
• Bed: 40-50°C
• Chamber: room temperature
• Cooling fan: off

• Anneal after printing: 100°C for 16 hours
• Support: PolyDissolve S1 is the recommended support material

Material

• Nylon 6 (PA6) reinforced with 20% carbon fibre
• 1.75 mm diameter, 0.5 kg of filament
• Heat deflection: 215°C at 0.45 MPa and 173°C at 1.8 MPa
• Tensile strength (X-Y): 109 MPa dry
• Young's modulus (X-Y): 8,637 MPa dry and 2,508 MPa wet
• Melting point: 218.5°C
• Density: 1.17 g/cm³
• Flame rating: UL 94 HB at 1.5 mm
• Electrically insulating

Good To Know

• Carbon fibre wears out a brass nozzle in about 9 hours of printing. Use hardened steel or ruby.
• Nylon pulls water from the air fast. Store and print it below 20% humidity, and dry the spool if it has been open.
• Parts hold their size well. Polymaker's 40 mm test print came out within 0.1 mm.
• If you print PA6-CF20 as its own support, take the supports off before the part soaks up moisture. Wet supports can bond to the part for good.
• Need more? Fiberon PA6-CF20 Black also comes on a 3 kg spool.

Good For

• Jigs, fixtures, and end-use tooling that must stay stiff under load
• Brackets, mounts, and housings that sit near heat
• Electronics housings and precision parts that need heat resistance and insulation
• Automotive parts and functional prototypes
