PC KRATOS FORMFUTURA 1.75 mm 750g

Kratos PC is the next generation in PC filament. It uses the same low warp technology as our TitanX and ApolloX filaments. This means low shrinkage plus increased bed- and layer adhesion. In short, Kratos PC is the easiest to 3D print PC filament. Its improved flow rate enables this PC filament to 3D print at high speeds.

Kratos PC is a true engineering filament, it combines excellent mechanical and thermal properties. It is ideal for printing durable parts with a high impact strength, and creates detailed parts with a high dimensional accuracy. Your printed parts will be heat-resistant up to 150°C.

Important key features

• Durable with a high impact- and tensile strength.
• High resistance to dynamic loads.
• Vicat softening temperature of 150°C
• HDT B of 139°C.
• High speed printing compatible up to 200 mm/s.

Suitable applications

• 3D printing automotive parts.
• Functional prototyping.
• 3D printing end-use parts
• Small-scale production
• Manufacturing electronic components.

General printing guidelines *

*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.

Pre-drying Kratos PC

Kratos PC is a hygroscopic filament and therefore it is necessary to pre-dry the filament at 75°C for
approximately 24 hours before usage. For optimal print results we recommend to print Kratos PC filament from a drying box to avoid that the material can accumulate humidity from the environment.

Buildplate adhesion

For optimal buildplate adhesion we recommend to use a dedicated PC buildplate adhesive and to print a brim around your model. The brim is advised to hold down the edges of your part, which can prevent warping and help improve bed adhesion.

Enclosure recommended for large(r) prints.

Kratos PC can be 3D printed on open printers without a closed chamber for small(er) parts. For large(r) parts we do recommend to use a 3D printer with closed chamber.

Storage and handling

Filament should be stored at room temperature in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%.
Recommended storage temperature is ca. 18-25°C (64.4 -77.0°F). Keep out of moisture, sunlight and direct heat. When stored properly, product has a shelf life of 24 months. To obtain the best parameters of the printed object, it is recommended to dry the material prior to usage and to 3D print it directly from a dry box.
