ePA12+CF

ePA12+CF is a eSUN self-developed material based on PA12, it added 15% carbon fiber, greatly enhance the strength, rigidity, toughness of nylon, and can be used in many applications instead of metal. ePA12+CF has low water absorption rate, the size of the printed part is less affected by humidity and temperature. Self-lubrication and wear resistance making it suitable for printing gears. ePA12+CF has high temperature resistance, helping it survived from the continuous use (temperature can reach 120℃) and short-term printing (temperature can reach 160℃). Low shrinkage rate, printing is not easy to warp edge and cracking, printing items surface matte fine.

Low shrinkage rate, printing is not easy to warp edge and cracking, printing items surface matte fine. The difference between the more common EPA12-CF and the current ePA12+CF:
1. Enhanced printing performance, improved printing speed, can be printed directly after vacuum unpacking, no need to bake materials.
2. Enhance toughness, not easy to break.

ePA12+CF should be dried at 70°C for over 12 hours before printing to achieve optimal results. It is recommended to use it with an eBOX filament storage box during printing.
The ePA12+CF filament is quite rigid and not easily bendable. To avoid excessive bending, ensure the filament path in the feed tube is as straight as possible.
ePA12+CF is highly abrasive and can wear down nozzles and extruder gears quickly. It is recommended to use a hardened steel nozzle or ruby nozzle, and if possible, hardened steel extruder gears. If the print is long and a clog occurs, consider replacing the hotend and nozzle.
It is advisable to set a skirt to make it easier to remove the model from the build plate.
For better model strength, it is recommended to print in a heated enclosure or closed-chamber 3D printer to maintain a stable temperature.
