In comparison to a standard PA, the 15% carbon fiber reinforcement creates stiffer material thus opening new fields for the printing of demanding applications. | | --- | --- | **To use PAHT CF15** filament you will have to [install the hotend X](https://support.bcn3d.com/knowledge/hotend-x-bcn3d?hsLang=en). Printing PAHT CF15 and PP GF30 with a standard nozzle will seriously damage the hotend. You can purchase PAHT CF15 from our store: [BCN3D PAHT CF15](https://www.bcn3d.com/product/paht-cf15-bcn3d-filaments/) ### **PAHT CF15 compatibility with BCN3D printers / hotends** | ✔ | ✔ | **✗** | **✗** | **✗** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ![Epsilon-header](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20base/Materials/Epsilon-header.jpg?width=450&name=Epsilon-header.jpg) | ![w27-epsilon-series-bcn3d](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/w27-epsilon-series-bcn3d.png?width=600&name=w27-epsilon-series-bcn3d.png) | ![d25-sigma-series-bcn3d](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/d25-sigma-series-bcn3d.png?width=600&name=d25-sigma-series-bcn3d.png) | ![Sigmax-header-3-prints](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20base/Materials/Sigmax-header-3-prints.jpg?width=450&name=Sigmax-header-3-prints.jpg) | ![Sigma-header-3prints](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20base/Materials/Sigma-header-3prints.jpg?width=450&name=Sigma-header-3prints.jpg) | | Hotend X | Hotend X | | | | ### **Supported materials combinations** The BCN3D PAHT CF15 is compatible with the following BCN3D Filaments. | **Standard materials** | | | | | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | PLA **✗** | TPU **✔** | PVA **✔** | BVOH **✔** | TPLA **![e-experimental](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20base/Materials/e-experimental.png?width=18&name=e-experimental.png)** | PET-G **✗** | | | | | | | | **Technical materials** | | | | | | | | | | | | | ABS **✔** | PA **✗** | PP **✗** | | | | | | | | | | | **Composite materials** | | | | | | | | | | | | | PAHT CF15 **✔** | PP GF30 **✗** | PET CF15 **![e-experimental](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20base/Materials/e-experimental.png?width=18&name=e-experimental.png)** | 316L **✗** | 17-4 PH **✗** | | | | | | | | ### **PAHT CF15 printing settings - Hotend X** | **Extruder temperature** | 260ºC - 280ºC | | --- | --- | | **Build plate temperature** | 95ºC | | **Speed** | 40-60 mm/s | | **Retraction speed** | 40 mm/s | | **Retraction distance** | 7 mm | | **Cooling fan** | 0% | | **Minimum layer height** | 0.15-0.4 mm | - **Note:**  BCN3D Lab develops specific configurations for each material and printer. Make sure to use the last [BCN3D Stratos](https://www.bcn3d.com/bcn3d-stratos/) version. ### **Build plate adhesion** PAHT CF15 has almost no warping. However, is recommended to use [Magigoo Original](https://support.bcn3d.com/knowledge/magigoo-tips-tricks?hsLang=en) when printing this filament, you will get optimal results using a clean printing surface with a thin layer of adhesive. ### **Recommendations** Plastics absorb moisture from the air. When the material is not in use for extended periods of time,  it is recommended to keep the PAHT CF15 spools [in a box or airtight container with desiccant to keep them dry](https://support.bcn3d.com/knowledge/handle-storage-filament-bcn3d?hsLang=en). PAHT CF15 emits low levels of fumes and particles when printed. We recommend printing it in a well-ventilated area to ensure a healthy environment. ### Digital documentation of the PAHT CF15 Here you can find and download the Technical data and the Safety data sheets of our PAHT CF15: | ![download-arrow](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20base/Button/download-arrow.png?width=25&name=download-arrow.png) | [Technical data sheet](https://www.bcn3d.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/BCN3D-Filaments-Technical-Data-Sheet-PAHT-CF15.pdf) | ![download-arrow](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BCN3D/Knowledge%20base/Button/download-arrow.png?width=25&height=25&name=download-arrow.png) | [Safety data sheet](https://www.bcn3d.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/BCN3D-Filaments-Innofil3D-TDS-Ultrafuse-PAHT-CF15.pdf) | | --- | --- | --- | --- |   | **Send us your comments about this article** | [![feedback-button](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20base/Button/feedback-button.png?width=179&name=feedback-button.png)](https://share.hsforms.com/1F7t1sBuOQyWlAeRwwFSjgQ3fec5) | | --- | --- | | #### **RELATED ARTICLES** | | | [![pahtcf15 tips eng](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20base/Related%20Articles%20English/pahtcf15%20tips%20eng.png?width=600&name=pahtcf15%20tips%20eng.png)](https://support.bcn3d.com/knowledge/paht-cf15?hsLang=en) | [![store filament eng](https://support.bcn3d.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20base/Related%20Articles%20English/store%20filament%20eng.png?width=600&name=store%20filament%20eng.png)](https://support.bcn3d.com/knowledge/handle-storage-filament-bcn3d?hsLang=en) |   -
