3DXTECH OBSIDIAN PA6+CF [MARKFORGED ONYX ALTERNATIVE]. 1.75mm. 1kg Black

Obsidian™ PA6+Carbon Fiber [Markforged ONYX Alternative]

Obsidian™ PA6+CF filament was formulated to be a lower-cost drop-in Markforged Onyx Alternative suitable for all Markforged printers. We developed this material after extensive analysis and testing on our own in-house Markforged printer and many outside beta testers. The result is a seamless printing experience that produces parts with an outstanding appearance and excellent mechanical properties.
