Description

The eSUN PA12+ CF filament, developed in collaboration with LUVOCOM, leverages a PA12 base significantly enhanced with 15% carbon fiber. This advanced composite material delivers exceptional strength, rigidity, and toughness, making it a viable substitute for metal components in numerous applications. Its inherently low water absorption rate minimizes dimensional instability in printed parts due to environmental humidity and temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliability and precision.

Designed for demanding engineering tasks, eSUN PA12+ CF offers remarkable self-lubricating and wear-resistant characteristics, making it particularly well-suited for printing functional gears and moving parts. The material exhibits high-temperature resistance, with parts maintaining integrity at continuous temperatures up to 120℃ and short-term exposure up to 160℃. Its low shrinkage properties contribute to reduced warping and cracking during the printing process, resulting in a consistent, matte, and delicate surface finish. This filament’s minimal tolerance and excellent layer adhesion ensure stable prints with a very high success rate, free from common issues like clogging or bubbles.

Key Features

  • Exceptional heat resistance, enabling parts to withstand high operating temperatures.
  • Superior abrasion resistance, prolonging the lifespan of printed mechanical components.
  • High dimensional stability, ensuring part accuracy and reliability over time.
  • Attractive matte surface effect, ideal for aesthetic and functional prototypes.
  • Excellent printability with minimal warping and strong layer adhesion.
  • Low moisture absorption compared to traditional nylons, enhancing performance stability.
  • Good chemical resistance, suitable for industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the optimal drying settings for eSUN PA12+ CF filament?

To ensure optimal print quality and prevent issues like bubbling or poor layer adhesion, eSUN PA12+ CF should be thoroughly dried before use. We recommend drying the filament at 70-80°C for at least 6-8 hours. A dedicated filament dryer box during printing is highly beneficial for maintaining dryness.

What extruder and bed temperatures are recommended for printing eSUN PA12+ CF?

For eSUN PA12+ CF, an extruder temperature between 270-300°C is typically required, depending on your printer and nozzle type. The heatbed temperature should be set between 45-60°C. Using an adhesive like a PEI sheet or glue stick can significantly improve bed adhesion and prevent warping.

How does carbon fiber enhance the properties of PA12+ CF filament?

The addition of 15% carbon fiber to PA12 nylon dramatically enhances its mechanical properties. It significantly increases the material's tensile strength, flexural strength, and rigidity, while also improving heat resistance and dimensional stability. This makes parts much stronger and more durable for demanding applications.

Is an enclosure necessary when printing eSUN PA12+ CF filament?

Yes, using a heated enclosure is highly recommended when printing eSUN PA12+ CF filament. An enclosure helps maintain a stable ambient temperature around the print, reducing thermal stress and minimizing the risk of warping and cracking, especially for larger or more complex parts, despite its low shrinkage properties.

What types of applications benefit most from eSUN PA12+ CF filament?

eSUN PA12+ CF is ideal for functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts in robotics, automotive, and aerospace industries. Its high strength, rigidity, and wear resistance make it perfect for gears, impellers, and precision engineering components that require robust mechanical performance and durability under stress or heat.
