Description
The eSUN ePA-CF is a professional-grade, high-performance filament based on Nylon and reinforced with 20% carbon fibre. This composite material is engineered to deliver exceptional strength, high rigidity, and excellent wear resistance, making it an ideal choice for printing industrial-grade parts, functional prototypes, and high-stress components.
Compared to standard Nylon filaments, ePA-CF exhibits a significantly lower shrinkage rate and reduced distortion, resulting in higher dimensional accuracy and minimal warping. It produces a professional matte finish and prints smoothly and odorlessly. Note: Due to the abrasive nature of carbon fibre, the use of a hardened or stainless steel nozzle with a diameter of at least 0.6mm is required to prevent excessive wear and clogging.
Key Features
- Nylon + 20% Carbon Fibre: Combines the toughness of Nylon with the superior rigidity and strength of carbon fibre.
- Industrial Performance: High wear resistance and rigidity, perfect for functional industrial parts.
- Improved Accuracy: Lower shrink rate and reduced warping compared to pure Nylon.
- Professional Finish: Provides a smooth, matte finish that hides layer lines beautifully.
- Flame Resistance: Certified with a flame-retardant level of UL94-V2.
Suggested Print Settings
- Nozzle Temperature: 230°C
- Heatbed Temperature: 80°C (Elmer’s purple glue stick recommended for adhesion)
- Print Speed: 30 – 60 mm/s
- Recommended Nozzle: Hardened/Stainless steel (>0.6mm recommended)
