PCTG+CF

PCTG+CF filament – PCTG with the power of carbon

PCTG+CF filament is a revolutionary combination of the versatility of PCTG and unique properties of carbon fiber (CF). The well-known PCTG filament has been enriched with 10% of carbon. This way, the material is much more stiff. Additionally, greater tensile strength in comparison with pure PCTG makes this filament a good choice for designs requiring increased strength. For engineers and designers who need a material which combines efficiency and technical excellence, PCTG+CF filament is the answer to these requirements, which paves the way for new possibilities in 3D printing.

Another advantage of this 3D printing filament is its reduced shrinkage. This makes it perfect for precision designs, especially for models with a complex geometry. The possibility to use Fiberlogy PCTG+CF in open 3D printers additionally enhances its versatility, allowing to use in different machines.

Please note as well that PCTG+CF filament offers an esthetic aspect in the form of carbon finish of the print. For 3D printing enthusiasts and professional users who value visual appearance and functionality equally, this filament is an excellent combination of these two.

3D Printing Applications:

Prototyping: functional prototypes, rapid prototyping
Automotive: fastening elements, component covers, vehicle interior equipment, spare parts production
Production maintenance: spare parts, machine components, replacements for metal parts
Short-series production: electronics housings, elements with complex geometry, parts and products for individual orders

How to print PCTG+CF?

The following parameters are only suggested print settings for this material. To ensure the best print quality, it is necessary to choose the appropriate settings for a specific printer and printing conditions.

Nozzle Temperature	250-270°C
Bed Temperature	90-110°C
Closed chamber	not required
Fan	0-25%
Flowrate	90-100%
Printing Speed	35-60 mm/s
Surface	masking tape, PVA glue, hairspray
Retraction (direct)	1-2 mm
Retraction (bowden)	3-5 mm
Retraction Speed	20-45 mm/s
Drying conditions	60°C / 4h
Notes	The material has highly abrasive properties. We recommend the use of hardened steel or ruby nozzles. Due to the strong adhesion to the bed, it is not recommended to print directly on its surface or on glass. This can lead to damage. We recommend using a masking tape.
Profiles	Bambu Lab X1C/P1S/P1P/A1
