Nylon CARBONITE

Nylon Carbonite (Nylon Carbon Fiber Filament)

Developed for engineering and industrial applications, Nylon CARBONITE is a carbon fiber reinforced nylon filament that is excellent for prototyping and producing functional parts.  This 3d printing filament offers the chemical resistance, durability, and signature subtle flexibility of nylon — but with the structural rigidity of carbon fiber. In addition to adding light-weight strength, carbon fiber provides extra thermal resistance and prints easily, with less warpage than regular nylon filaments.  When printed, Nylon CARBONITE provides an appealing semi-matte black finish.

SECTION 3, SPECIFICATIONS

• 3D printing with carbon fiber reinforced filaments are abrasive and can wear out a brass or aluminum nozzle.
• Drying – very important.  This product is supplied dry and sealed in thick 4mil pouch with several packs of desiccant.  However, it is made using nylon and will absorb more moisture than other resins when left exposed to the environment.  Excessive moisture will result in popping at the nozzle (water boiling off, a little steam) and excessive drooling and nozzle build-up.  Make sure to keep this filament in a dry location between uses. If the filament does get wet, you can dry it out with a basic toaster oven (not one for food consumption). Recommend drying for 2-3 hours at 70-80°C. The reel itself has lower thermal resistance than the nylon filament and will distort / melt before the nylon.
• Recommended print bed prep nylon carbon fiber filament is Wolfbite NITRO
• Other carbon fiber filaments include:  ABS Carbonite, PETG Carbonite
