5.0 out of 5 stars Best carbon fiber filament for the money. Incredibly strong and durable.
This is a great structural material. I have experience using Markforged Onyx, and this is like a budget version of that stuff. I haven't used NylonX, so I don't know how it compares. It would appear that the fiber chop is a little larger in this filament, and the filament diameter is a bit rough and variable because of that, however it still prints fairly smooth for me. I get a bit of oozing with a 0.6mm nozzle, so I would recommend a 0.4 or 0.5 instead and maybe a bit of increased retraction speed and distance. But as long as you get the settings dialed in otherwise, then the layer adhesion is amazing. The carbon fiber also adds rigidity to the otherwise flexible base of nylon. Thin walls will have a little bit of flex, but anything thicker than 4mm is going to be really stiff.Another thing I will say is that you need to be careful around this material as well. Sanding it creates very small dust particles that are hazardous to breathe in. So use a respirator and sand this stuff outside. It's also not great to handle finished parts because the material is a bit irritating (almost like raw fiberglass) and makes your hands itch. With that said, the best way to finish parts printed in this stuff would be to use a primer/filler to get a smooth surface, rather than sanding the print down. Then seal in the material with a top coat of some kind. I've used plasti-dip with pretty good results.
5.0 out of 5 stars Might be my new favorite filament
This is the real deal.This review comes after my first time printing with a nylon-carbon fiber filament. I needed something tough to build functional parts that will receive some wear and tear. Nylon mixed with carbon fiber seemed to make sense. Nylon is known for its durability, while the carbon fiber adds rigidity. After my first functional print, I couldn't be happier (see pictures). The parts are hard and rigid without being brittle, and tough and durable without being flexible. This stuff also has decent heat and chemical resistance (I work in a lab, so that's good!). It's also relatively easy and accurate to print with, and it has a good strength to weight ratio. I have nothing to complain about. Manufacturer recommends a 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle, but I used a 0.4mm hardened steel nozzle and had no issues whatsoever.My printer is a QIDI X-one2Nozzle: 0.4mm MK10 style, hardened steel (Do not use a brass nozzle with carbon fiber!).Layer Height: 0.2mmPrinting Temp: 250CBed Temp: 80C first layer / 70C after that (Glue stick works well).Print Speed: 12 mm/s first layer / 30mm/s after that (I have not tried to print faster yet).Travel Speed: 100 mm/sRetraction Distance: 1.5mm (Retraction works well on this filament.)Retraction Speed: 30 mm/sWall Thickness: 1.2mmTop and Bottom Layers: 5 eachInfill: 25% Gyroid (This works very well).I used a brim and line supports with ceiling and no floor, which were actually easier to remove than on most PLA prints.The surface of the parts were surprisingly smooth, even where the supports were removed. No filing was necessary, but steel picks were useful. Post-processing was minimal.The ONLY thing I wish was that the filament were cheaper and that it came in more colors and varieties. But SainSmart is cheaper the competition (for nylon-carbon fiber, PLA-carbon fiber and PETG-carbon fiber don't count). It's hard to complain about the price.I'm happy with this. I think this will be my goto for functional parts.
4.0 out of 5 stars SainSmart ePA-CF Carbon Fiber Filled Nylon Filament - Great Finish but Tricky to Print
The SainSmart ePA-CF Carbon Fiber Nylon filament has a sleek, professional look when printed, though it’s not the easiest material to work with. I dried the filament carefully before using it, which helped with print consistency. However, there’s a noticeable odor during printing, so good ventilation is a must.I noticed some over-extrusion on surface layers, so it looks like fine-tuning the extrusion multiplier and measuring filament diameter are needed to get ideal results. While the final prints look excellent, this filament requires a bit of patience and dialing in to really shine. Not a simple “load-and-go” experience, but the results are worth it for projects where aesthetics and strength matter.
5.0 out of 5 stars this nylon prints better than others on my k1c
This is one of my favorite filaments for functional use items. Other nylons tend to print really messy for me but this is pretty close to PLA once you dial everything in. I often use it for replacement pieces for RC cars, so they stand up to a good amount of abuse. The matte finish hides layer lines effectively. You need to be pretty careful with how you add supports if your print needs them, post-processing can be a bit tough as this stuff is to strong and the layers adhere really well (especially on supports). For my K1c i use the default nylon setting, then adjust nozzle to 260c, bed to 80c, and run the smooth bed with some gluestick.
Gutes Filament für belastbare Teile
Eines vorweg: Das Sainsmart ePA-CF muss unbedingt extrem gut getrocknet werden vor bzw. bei dem Druck. Ich mache das mit einem Dörrautomaten, ansonsten kommt es zu viel mehr "oozing" und die Druckqualität leidet.Die Temperaturangaben mit 240-260 Grad stimmt prinzipiell. Ich habe einen Temp Tower ohne Kühlung von 285 bis 235 Grad gedruckt und sofort die Schwächen des PA Filaments entdeckt: das bridging.Bei einem weiteren Temp Tower habe ich die Kühlung auf 20% gedreht und bemerkte optische Verbesserungen, jedoch leidet die Stabilität bzw. Layer adhesion. Die Haftung auf meinem PEI Bett ist schlecht, aber hier hilft eine dünne Schicht Uhu Stick und alle Probleme sind weg.Es ist in jeder Hinsicht stärker als Colorfabb XT-CF20, nur etwas elastischer ist es.Das XT-CF20 hat dafür eine dunklere und feinere Farbe bzw. Oberfläche.Meine (subjektiven) Empfehlungen:Extruder Temperatur: 255-265 GradBed Temp: 85 GradBauteilkühlung komplett ausschaltenFlow musste ich um 6% erhöhenlangsamer als gewohnt druckenkeine großen Brücken einplanenIch kaufe es sicher wieder, Preis/Leistung ist ok.

I’m very surprised. Bought to test and I have to say it’s really really heat resistant and tough! And it prints amazing!

Geeignet für Geschirrspülmaschine
Enfin des pièces imprimées resistantes à la chaleur et aux chocs !
C'est très déroutant de se servir de ce filament car j'ai dû retourner ma plaque ultrabase pour se servir du coté lisse et utiliser de la colle en bâton pour que les premiers couches tiennent. Pour une belle qualité d'impression sur ma CR-10 sont plateau à 80°C et buse à 245°C et pas de ventilateur. Je me sers de ce filament pour fabriquer des pièces utilisé dans une baie moteur ou dans l'habitacle d'une voiture : rien n'a bougé.
