Description

add:north Rigid X Black filament

add:north’s special Rigid X is a carbon fiber reinforced PETG filament.

It combines the excellent chemical, heat and UV-resistance of regular PETG and adds the strength and stiffness of carbon fibers. It also adds about 10-20°C in heat resistance, making it the perfect material for a broad range of demanding applications, such as vehicle parts, fixtures or jiggs.

Printing with Rigid X:

• It’s effortless to print with. You can easily achieve maximum layer adhesion and a beautiful surface finish, with zero warping, because of the higher print temperatures, starting at 245 °C.
• We recommend an all metal hotend. Rigid X is a highly abrasive filament and requires a hardened steel nozzle or an equivalent. Nozzle X works very well for printing all add:north’s abrasive filaments.
• Recommended printing temperature: 245-265°C nozzle temp and 70°C on the bed.

Rigid X, together with all other add:north’s filaments, are made in Sweden and have a diameter tolerance of ± 0.025mm.
