Carbonara CF tube

Carbonara is a high-endurance, high-quality carbon fiber X beam for Voron and Monolith 3D printers using 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.
• Tested for 800 hours at VERY high speeds, 500-1300mm/s @ 50.000-100.000m/s² and a 80°c chamber. 

Important information

The printed inserts are a MUST  to ensure maximum performance. Please make sure they are all aligned and facing the same direction.Hollow spacers aren't mandatory, they are only used to facilitate installation.

For a stock Voron gantry new printed XY-joints are needed that don't have the small tab that aligns with the slot in a regular extrusion. 

STLs for the inserts and Voron XY-joints can be found here on Printables. The first batch of tubes comes with thicker M5 standoffs so use this version of the M5 inserts if you print your own.
