Product Information
Are you searching for Obsidian™ CF+PA6 Nylon Filament in Australia? Obsidian™ PA6+CF is a top - notch alternative to Markforged Onyx™. It fits perfectly in all Markforged printers and offers excellent performance, great looks, and significant cost savings. This filament was developed after in - depth analysis and testing on our in - house Markforged printer and with numerous beta testers. It gives a seamless printing experience, creating parts with outstanding appearance and mechanical properties. Made from premium high - modulus carbon fiber and PA6 copolymer, it allows you to save money when using your Markforged printer. Even if you don't have a Markforged printer, no worries! Obsidian™ is also compatible with non - Markforged printers suitable for PA6+CF. You can enjoy the excellent strength, stiffness, and looks of this specialty material without overspending on Markforged Onyx™. Benefits of Obsidian™ PA6+CF include being a direct replacement for Onyx™ without print - setting changes, over 30% cost savings compared to Markforged Onyx™, excellent strength and stiffness, resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons, superior dimensional stability, and compatibility with various Markforged printers. The filament diameter is 1.75mm +/- 0.05mm. For Markforged printers, it's a drop - in for Onyx™ without print - setting changes. For non - Markforged printers, recommended settings are: extruder 265 - 285°C, bed temp 90 - 110°C, a hardened steel nozzle, Magigoo Bed Prep and 3DXTECH Polyimide Tape for bed prep, a heated chamber is recommended, AquaTek™ water - soluble support material for complex models, and dry at 90°C for 4 hours if there's moisture. Carbon fiber in this filament, with 5 - 10 micrometer - wide fibers aligned along the material axis, gives it high stiffness, tensile strength, heat tolerance, chemical resistance, low weight, and low thermal expansion. It's ideal for applications needing light weight and rigidity, popular in aerospace, civil engineering, military, and motorsports. Note that this is an abrasive material, so a hardened steel nozzle is strongly recommended to avoid extrusion issues.
Using this Obsidian™ CF+PA6 Nylon Filament is quite straightforward. If you have a Markforged printer, you can use it as a direct replacement for Onyx™ without changing any print settings. For non - Markforged printers, set the extruder temperature between 265 - 285°C and the bed temperature between 90 - 110°C. We suggest using a hardened steel nozzle to prevent it from wearing out quickly. Prepare the bed with Magigoo Bed Prep and 3DXTECH Polyimide Tape for the best results. A heated chamber is a good idea to improve the printing quality. If you're printing complex models, use AquaTek™ water - soluble support material. If the filament shows signs of moisture, dry it at 90°C for 4 hours. When it comes to maintenance, always keep the filament in a dry place. After use, make sure to seal it properly to avoid moisture absorption. Also, since this is an abrasive material, check the nozzle regularly for wear and replace it when needed. That way, you can keep getting great prints with this awesome filament.
