Carbonara Color CF tube!

Due to QC issues this batch of tubes will be sold as-is at 50% discount. They are still structurally good and the issues are only with the carbon weave, color or visible seem on the outer most layer. Some of the issues will be covered or the tube can be rotated so it's not as visible in use. 

After hits like the Black Carbonara and the Mystic Purple we are happy to bring you all the colors of Carbonara! Due to the amount of variants we will be taking preorders now for the first run and the most popular version will be stocked later. 

We have no pictures of the colors right now but look at the purple tube and imagine it being an other color for now. 

We have received pictures of the colored carbon fiber material that is used for the colored tubes. It gives some indication on what the color will look like.

Timeline for the colored tubes are not 100% set yet but the preorder will be running until May 11th and then the order will be sent to the manufacturer. We will update with ETAs as soon as we know.

We estimate 4-5 weeks lead time at least from the order being sent to manufacturer.

The purple one is the same as the Mystic Purple but there will not be serials made for them. That is reserved for the first batch. You can order/preorder from the first batch of purple ones until May 4th here.

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.
