Printing Tips
- Requires a 350C-capable hotend and an actively heated chamber
- Must be dried and kept dry - prints fail quickly if wet
- Carbon fiber is abrasive - hardened steel or ruby nozzle required
- Excellent chemical and heat resistance for industrial parts
Common Uses
- Aerospace and industrial parts
- Chemical-resistant components
- High-temperature functional parts
- Under-hood automotive
