Nylon CF15 Carbon - Quels réglages dans Slic3r ?  

RE: Nylon CF15 Carbon - Quels réglages dans Slic3r ?

Sorry for using English, but:

1. Make sure you have a hardened steel nozzle
2. Start with ColorFabb XT CF20 profile
3. Adjust temperatures: 250 °C for nozzle, 80 °C bed first layer, 90 °C bed other layers
4. Fan speed 0% min 0% max, 50% bridges
5. Min print speed 5 mm/s
6. Max volumetric speed 3 mm³/s

No changes needed to the print profiles. That should get you going, you may try getting a bit bolder with the volumetric speed later. However, the Fillamentum CF15 Carbon is PA12 based. Which means excellent mechanical properties, but a lot of thermal expansion/contraction. Which means a lot of warping. Which means it won't stay on the bed. To get it to stick at least a bit, apply a THICK layer of PVA (gluestick) glue, let it dry and then print. Or a Garolite bed. Even then, the print will be warped. Use an enclosure. But even that will not help fully, the air inside would need to be around 90 °C to avoid warping.

If you want to get good Nylon/Carbon prints on a Prusa, don't print PA12-based Nylons. Get a PA6/6.6 co-polymer Nylon. Like ColorFabb PA-CF Low Warp or 3DXTech CarbonX. TreeD PAHP and TreeD Carbonium may be similarly low-warping, but I haven't tested yet.

If you succeed with Fillamentum CF15 Carbon, let me know. I did not manage to get the warping under control.

Good evening Vojtěch, 

Thank you for all of those tips.

I'll make a first attempt tomorrow based on your advices.

Do you have any results with CF15?

Thank you

Hi scevko, 

I don't try it. 

I build an enclosure but I don't finish to adapt the dehydrator.

Hi,

I did print several parts in CF15, quite easy to print (in an enclosure), easier than standard nylon.

Dans l'assistant de configuration tu sélectionne Tout les fournisseurs et tout les profils, ainsi tu auras les Nylon avec et sans charges en fibres de carbone et de verre.

Bonjour. J'ai essayé et ça a fonctionné. Merci beaucoup.
