CeramiX PEKK 3D Printing Filament

Ceramic-filled PEKK and PEEK compounds have a long history in the plastics industry ‚ ¬Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“ especially in the semiconductor industry where these materials have been used to machine integrated circuit (IC) test sockets and fixtures. CeramiX PEKK contains 15% (wt %) of high purity Alumina (Al₂ 0₃ ) which creates a hard surface ideal for repeated uses in electronics assembly and fabrication facilities.
Please Note: This material was NOT formulated for applications that would create printed ‚ ¬Ã‹Å“green‚ ¬ parts that would later be de-bound and sintered, leaving the ceramic additive in place.

Surface Conductivity as a Function of Extruder Temperature:

The surface resistance of the printed ESD-safe part will vary depending on the printer‚ ¬s extruder temperature. For example, if your testing indicates the part is too insulative, then increasing the extruder temperature will result in improved conductivity. Therefore, the surface resistance can be ‚ ¬Ã‹Å“dialed-in‚ ¬ by adjusting the extruder temperature up or down depending on the reading you receive on your part.

Recommended Print Settings:

• Extruder: 360-390Â °C
• Bed Temp: 120-140Â °C
• Nozzle: We currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4mm
• Other: Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter. We do not recommend printing layers smaller than 0.2mm with carbon fiber reinforced filaments
• Bed Prep: Nano Polymer Adhesive gives us the best results
• Heated Chamber: Recommended, up to 160Â °C if possible with your printer
• Supports: ThermaX HTS High-Temp Support is designed to work with complex, high-temp materials like this
