3DXTECH CarbonX Carbon Fiber PLA 3D Printing Filament, 1.75mm, 500G 3D Printing Filament

I wasted 200gm learning that my fancy genuine E3D-v6 all metal hotend with 0.04 diamondback nozzle is not the way to go with CarbonX PLA-CF. Like others, I had "mysterious" flow/clog issues with recommended settings, which I never had before even with nylons etc. Careful examination showed the problem was related to heat creep, which is not typically a problem for an e3d. However, this filament is so dang rough/stiff, and I think the high cf content wicks heat up the filament faster. It swells just enough to grab the metal heatbreak preventing further flow; you have to cut the swollen filament off and reinsert to get it going again. I have an old ptfe style heatbreak for my e3d that I tried, thinking the slippery flexible surface is harder for CF to grab. Seemed I was right... immediately I had 100% success with even smaller details in a hotter enclosure, for the rest of the spool. So if you have some left that you're scared of wasting because you have only tried all metal... give a teflon heatbreak a try.

I will start off saying I’ve printed numerous different types of CF-PLA filament and prior to using 3DXtechs version my favorite was proto-pasta CF-HTPLA which prints absolutely amazing and is very very strong, but I’ve gotta say this stuff from 3DXtech is so so nice to use, prints with perfect layers that adhere very strongly to each other, the lines come out perfect, there is ZERO WARPING, and you get a full Kg for the price of 0.5kg for the Porto-pasta version. If you looking for good CF Pla filament then you just can’t get any better then this stuff by 3DXtech!! Truly, this stuff is as stiff as PC and just stupidly durable for being Pla

This stuff is easy to print. Little to no stringing. Perfect later adhesion at 213c. Didn't curl up or warp. Definitely buying this from now on.

The filament looks amazing but I was not able to do more than 2 prints without the actual filament starting to jam up any 3D printer it was put in. For a couple months the roll was passed round through a few friends of mine trying to get solid prints off of it, and we could not.

I recently purchased this material on January 27th. I opened the box and the air sealed bag that the filament is wrapped in, was not sealed at all. I removed the filament from the bag and pulled the sticker that holds the end of spool in place and the filament snapped off. I then unrolled roughly 8 to 10 more 3-inch pieces off of the spool and each piece broke off under little pressure. That design of the filament roll looked to be really nice and I'm sure it would print just fine but unfortunately; I was unable to use it at all due to the condition of the filament itself. I returned it the next day.

I was excited to get this. Even bought 2 rolls in anticipation of it being easier than nylon. But the consistency of the filament diameter is true. The filament gets stuck in Boden tube. When i upgrade to direct feed I will try again. The small couple of items that I did finish did look fantastic I just couldn't keep it feeding properly. Nylon carbon from same manufacturer is by far the best filament in terms of strength and durability.

I've been playing around with many temperatures I have given up on this filimate. I get a very inconsistent nozzle pressure making it nearly impossible to print with. I don't think it's my printer, When I go with Sindoh brand filament I have no printing issues.

This stuff is great prints like a dream very similar to protopasta carbon pla only you get more and it’s less money!
