Carbonara CF tube

Carbonara is a high-endurance, high-quality carbon fiber X beam for Voron and Monolith 3D printers, utilizing the stock build sizes of 250, 300, and 350.

Key features:

• High torsion resistance 

• Made with high-temperature resin. 110°C short-term temperature resistance, good for 90°C chamber.

• Ultra light, up to 58% weight reduction from a standard 2020 aluminium extrusion (before hardware and inserts).

• Smooth 3K carbon strand finish

• Pre-drilled, easy installation

• Unmatched price/performance

• Real-world prototype testing results:
  • Test log 1 - Compression and temperature
  • Test log 2 - Torsion and temperature

Tested for 800 hours at VERY high speeds, 500-1300mm/s @ 50.000-100.000m/s² with 80ºc chamber.

                    Warhammer 40k Laspistol prop in ABS 285ºc 500mm/s 20.000mm/s2

IMPORTANT!

• The printed inserts are a MUST  to ensure maximum performance. 

• Make sure they are all aligned and facing the same direction.

• The inserts must be a snug fit, not loose.

• Hollow spacers aren't mandatory, they are only used to facilitate installation.

• Inserts must be printed in CF/GF filament with HDT ≥ 110°C, such as, annealed PET-CF, PCPBTGF, etc.

                         The indented part of the printed inserts is meant to face the linear rail.
