3200cc spools are compatible with FX20 only. Due to their size and larger rotating mass they are not compatible with Desktop or X3/X7 printers.
Onyx is Nylon mixed with chopped carbon fiber offers a high-strength thermoplastic with excellent heat resistance, surface finish, and chemical resistance. Onyx serves as a thermoplastic matrix for Markforged’s composite parts. It can be printed alone or reinforced with one of our continuous fibers to give strength comparable to aluminium. Use Onyx for anything from tooling and fixtures to end-use parts.

What is the difference between chopped carbon fiber and continuous carbon fiber?
Chopped carbon fiber is what is mixed into Onyx filament giving it high stiffness and strength. Continuous carbon fiber is a reinforcement fiber that can be printed in long strands, creating composite parts up to 20 times stronger and stiffer than Onyx.
