Description
The carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) pellets ‘P-pellets Carbon 410 ‘ offers almost no warpage and shrinkage combined with good layer adhesion and can be printed with almost all common pellet processing 3D printers. However, due to the abrasive nature of the carbon fibers, a hardened nozzle is recommended. The ‘P-pellets Carbon 410’ and the prints made with it are very stiff, have good mechanical properties, high chemical resistance and high temperature stability. Its low density of 1.16 g/cm3 makes it suitable for lightweight construction. Applications ranging from technical components to individualized decorative and art articles to toys can be realized.
Pretreatment of the granulate ‘P-pellets Carbon 410‘:
The ‘P-pellets Carbon 410’ do not need to be dried before 3D printing and can be used without pre-treatment.
Recommended printing parameters:
‘P-surface 141’ as printing base for high quality results mandatory
Extruder temperature: 230 – 250 °C
Print bed surface temperature: 20 °C (50 – 70 °C during the first layer, 100 – 110 °C for non-destructive removal after completion)
Build chamber temperature: not necessary
Storage instructions:
In order to guarantee a constant print performance, the ‘P-pellets Carbon 410’ should be used and used up as soon as possible after opening. It is best to store opened material at a temperature of 15 – 25°C and in a plastic bag or box to prevent dust contamination.
Disclaimer
The product is designed for extrusion-based 3D printing and is not designed and optimized for a specific application of a printed object. Not every object can necessarily be printed with the ‘P-pellets 310’ It is your sole responsibility to always check that all objects printed with ‘P-pellets 310’ are suitable and safe for their intended use. This is particularly valid in view of the fact that the physical and mechanical properties and thus the dimensional stability of the objects are limited and the 3D printed parts and its properties may persist only for a limited period of time. In extrusion-based 3D printing, the material and manufacturing method are crucial to the performance of the printed object. A 3D printed object or part may appear identical to a commercially available analogue, but may behave differently for a variety of other reasons. PPprint GmbH assumes no liability for problems of this or similar nature.
It is also your sole responsibility to ensure that the printed object does not violate any laws or infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, such as patents, company or product identities, trade names, company names, logos, designs, utility models or copyrights. In addition, the ‘P-pellets 310’ may not be used in civil engineering, medical or other areas subject to statutory regulations or with an increased risk potential The ‘P-pellets 310’ are absolutely not allowed to be used for the production of any kind of weapons.
The ‘P-pellets 310’ were tested on several different granular-processing 3D printer models However, PPprint GmbH cannot guarantee compatibility with all available 3D printer models. The customer bears the sole responsibility that the ‘P-pellets 310’ are always installed, used and stored according to PPprint GmbH recommendations.
If a customer complains within the warranty period that the product is defective, but after a corresponding examination by PPprint GmbH it turns out that a product is not defective, PPprint GmbH reserves the right, at its own discretion, to charge the customer for the costs incurred by PPprint GmbH for work and expenses in connection with these examinations. The amount of the costs shall be determined on the basis of the prices of PPprint GmbH valid at that time.
