Perfect for makers who want stronger, more rigid prints while keeping the ease of PLA printing.
Store filament in a cool, dry place (15–30°C, humidity below 20%) in its vacuum-sealed bag with desiccant when not in use. If exposed to air for long periods, dry the filament before printing for best results.
Note: Due to the abrasive nature of Carbon Fibre, printers must be fitted with a hardened nozzle to print PLA-CF.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is PLA-CF filament?
PLA-CF (Carbon Fibre PLA) is a PLA-based 3D printing filament reinforced with carbon fibre particles. This reinforcement improves the stiffness and strength of printed parts, while still maintaining the easy printability that PLA is known for.
What is PLA-CF filament good for?
PLA-CF is commonly used for rigid, lightweight parts and functional prototypes. It’s well suited for brackets, mounts, structural components, engineering prototypes, and mechanical parts where improved stiffness and a professional matte finish are beneficial.
What are the properties of PLA-CF filament?
PLA-CF combines the ease of PLA printing with the strength and rigidity of carbon fibre reinforcement. Common characteristics include:
Because the material contains carbon fibre particles, a hardened nozzle is recommended to reduce nozzle wear during printing.
Do you need to dry PLA-CF filament before printing?
For best results, it’s recommended to dry PLA-CF before printing, especially if the filament has been exposed to humidity. A filament dryer set to around 50°C can help remove absorbed moisture and restore optimal printing performance. Dry filament helps reduce stringing and maintain consistent extrusion, leading to cleaner prints.
