Description

Formfutura Kratos PC CF10 is engineering filaments offers all benefits of Kratos PC plus 10% added carbon fibers. It utilizes low warp technology plus added carbon fibers. This results in a unique set of properties.

Kratos PC CF10 has a good resistance to moisture, UV, chemicals and abrasion, perfect for 3D printing parts used in demanding operating conditions. It is also heat-resistant up to 150 °C.

You can print large part with Kratos PC CF10, with benfit of printed parts durable, detailed with a high dimensional accuracy and almost no warping.

Note

Pre-drying Kratos PC

Kratos PC CF is a hygroscopic filament and therefore it is necessary to pre-dry the filament at 75°C for

approximately 24 hours before usage. For optimal print results we recommend to print Kratos PC filament from a drying box to avoid that the material can accumulate humidity from the environment.

Abrasiveness and nozzle size

Please be aware that carbon fiber reinforced filaments contain a relatively high concentration of extremely hard carbon fibers, which have an abrasive nature. In general these carbon fibers will accelerate the nozzlewear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments. We recommend to use ruby nozzles or hardened steel nozzles.We advise to use at least a 0.6mm nozzle for carbon fiber filled filaments.

Buildplate adhesion

For optimal buildplate adhesion we recommend to use a dedicated PC buildplate adhesive and to print a brim around your model. The brim is advised to hold down the edges of your part, which can prevent warping and help improve bed adhesion.

Enclosure recommended for large(r) prints.

Kratos PC can be 3D printed on open printers without a closed chamber for small(er) parts. For large(r) parts we do recommend to use a 3D printer with closed chamber.

Storage and handling

Filament should be stored at room temperature in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%.

Recommended storage temperature is ca. 18-25°C (64.4 -77.0°F). Keep out of moisture, sunlight and direct heat. When stored properly, product has a shelf life of 24 months. To obtain the best parameters of the printed object, it is recommended to dry the material prior to usage and to 3D print it directly from a dry box.
