Obsidian Glass Fiber Reinforced PA6 [Markforged ONYX Alternative]

Obsidian-GF Glass Fiber Reinforced PA6 filament was formulated to offer rich colorful options in an engineering-grade material for your Markforged printer. Obsidian-GF is 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. Made using premium chopped glass fiber and PA6 copolymer, Obsidian-GF is an excellent alternative to Onyx that allows our customers choose brilliant colors, excellent mechanical properties, and save money when using your Markforged printer.

Don’t have a Markforged printer? That’s no problem – Obsidian-GF is also compatible with all non-Markforged printers that are suitable for printing PA6+GF.  Take advantage of the excellent strength, stiffness, and appearance of this specialty material without over spending on Markforged Onyx.

Benefits of Obsidian-GF PA6+GF [Markforged Onyx Alternative]:

  • Drop-in for Onyx without any changes required to print settings
  • >9 Brilliant Colors
  • >9 More ductile (less brittle) than CF reinforced PA6/li>
  • >30% savings vs. Markforged Onyx
  • Excellent strength and stiffness
  • Resistant to aliphatic hydrocarbons (oil/gas/lubricants)

  • Drying Instructions: 90°C for 4 hours if the filament exhibits signs of moisture

Glass Fiber Reinforced Filament

What Is It?

Fibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.

This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.

What Does It Do?

Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:

  • High strength
  • High stiffness
  • High chemical resistance
  • Low thermal expansion

How Does It Work?

Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.

What Is It Good For?

Ideal for any applications that require strength and rigidity.

For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.

What is included with the nozzle pack? I see a photo of 4, but no sizes mentioned. Also, it's more expensive than getting 4 separately?

Bontech CHT Bi-metal 0.4mm - How to clear partial clog? Tried with needle and no deal.. it does get some stuff but not whatever is causing a partial clog somewhere within the nozzle. Tried heating it up to 300c.... It bubbles but clog still remains. Nozzle still prints but with extruder skips if going too fast. No i will not slow down, it worked find at faster speeds until it clogged up. I actually got the clog when swapping from PLA+ to MH dual color filament. Luckily for me i have spare nozzles but would like to get this sorted out so i can use it.

Why can't I use a cleaning rod with this tip? I have tried it both hot and cold. The rod will go through other 0.4mm tips.
