Quick3D 3DXTECH CarbonX Carbon Fiber Nylon 12 (PA12)
CarbonX · PA12 filament for FFF
Overview
PA12 nylon with high-modulus carbon fiber, giving low moisture absorption, low shrinkage and strength up to around 150C. Its chemical resistance and dimensional stability make it a common pick for jigs, fixtures and tooling.
