Bambu Lab PLA-CF Iris Purple 1kg

Bambu Lab PLA-CF Iris Purple 1kg

Bambu Lab PLA-CF Iris Purple is a premium carbon fiber-reinforced PLA filament designed for users who want higher stiffness, strength, and a professional matte surface, while maintaining the ease of printing of standard PLA.

The elegant Iris Purple shade combines a light violet to purple tone with a typical matte CF surface, which almost eliminates layer visibility and gives prints a technical yet designer look.

Main Advantages

• Carbon Fiber Reinforced (PLA-CF) Higher stiffness and strength compared to standard PLA – suitable for functional and structural parts.
• Matte, Premium Surface Reduces layer visibility, ideal for design and presentation models, cosplay, mockups, and prototypes.
• High Dimensional Stability Reduced thermal expansion – less warping and deformation, suitable even for larger parts.
• Easy Printing like PLA The filament is user-friendly, does not require an enclosed chamber, and works well on Bambu Lab printers (X1, P1, A1) and other FDM printers.
• AMS / Multi-material Compatible Integrated RFID on original Bambu Lab printers allows for automatic profile loading. (When using CF material, higher wear on feeding parts must be expected.)
• Supplied on Basic Reusable Spool A more ecological solution – the spool can be reused with refill packs.

Recommended Use

Bambu Lab PLA-CF Iris Purple is ideal for:

• Functional parts and prototypes – holders, brackets, covers, jigs, lightly loaded structural assemblies.
• Design models and decorations – statues, art objects, architectural models, exhibition models.
• Cosplay and props – weapons, armor, accessories that benefit from the matte surface and higher stiffness.
• Technical covers and housings – electronics, sensors, various boxes, and chassis.

Printing Recommendations

Values may vary slightly depending on the printer and environment – we always recommend doing a small test print.

• Nozzle Temperature: approx. 210–240 °C
• Bed Temperature: approx. 35–45 °C
• Printing Speed: suitable even for high-speed printing (Bambu Lab profiles)
• Cooling: medium to high (depending on part type)
• Build Plate: textured PEI, smooth PEI, or other suitable surface for PLA; a clean, grease-free surface is recommended.

Important Notice

• Use a Durable Nozzle Carbon fibers are abrasive – for long-term printing, use hardened steel, hardened copper, tungsten carbide, or another durable nozzle.
• Incompatible with 0.2 mm Nozzle Bambu Lab PLA-CF is not recommended for printing with 0.2 mm nozzles, as there is an increased risk of clogging.
• Stainless Steel Nozzle Not Recommended A standard stainless steel nozzle wears out quickly.
• Dry Storage and Drying The filament is more sensitive to moisture – keep dry and in case of surface quality issues, pre-dry it before printing (e.g., in a filament dryer).

Material Properties

• Base: PLA (polylactide)
• Filling: short carbon fibers
• Surface: matte, with a distinct CF texture
• Low shrinkage and good interlayer adhesion
• Higher stiffness and strength than classic PLA
• Lower heat resistance than technical materials (e.g., nylon, PC, PA-CF) – not suitable for permanently higher temperatures

Who is Bambu Lab PLA-CF Iris Purple suitable for

• Advanced hobby users looking for stronger and more aesthetic prints than from regular PLA.
• Professional users and companies producing prototypes, jigs, presentation or small series parts.
• Creators of cosplay, design, and art objects who want a combination of technical material and an attractive purple shade.
