Prof. Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Green 1 kg
Professional filament
Prof. Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Green (PLA-CF) is a composite material based on PLA
reinforced with carbon fibers. Thanks to this, it offers
higher stiffness, strength and dimensional stability compared to regular PLA, while maintaining very good printability.
The green shade in combination with a fine
matte structure from carbon fibers creates an attractive and representative surface. The filament is suitable for hobby and professional use – from functional prototypes to small series of parts.
Note: carbon fibers are abrasive – a hardened or toughened nozzle is recommended.
Main advantages
- PLA with carbon fibers (PLA-CF) – higher stiffness and strength than standard PLA
- Green color with a matte, technical surface appearance
- Better dimensional stability of parts, lower susceptibility to deformation
- High precision diameter 1,75 mm – smooth filament feed and reliable printing
- Suitable for functional parts and mechanical components (holders, fixtures, covers, mounting parts)
- Good layer adhesion and minimization of layer visibility thanks to carbon fibers
- Compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers with a filament diameter of 1,75 mm
Recommended use
- Strength and functional prototypes
- Assembly and positioning fixtures, holders, brackets
- Design and technical parts with a requirement for a matte surface
- Covers, housings, frames and structural elements
- RC models, construction parts, gadgets
Printing recommendations
Specific settings may vary depending on the printer, nozzle and conditions, generally for PLA-CF it is recommended:
- Nozzle temperature: approx. 210–240 °C
- Bed temperature: 50–70 °C (depending on the type of bed)
- Printing speed: 40–80 mm/s
- Cooling fan: medium to high power (50–100 %)
- Recommended nozzle: hardened / toughened (due to the abrasiveness of carbon fibers)
For the best result, printing on a
textured or PEI bed is recommended, or with the use of adhesives (3DLac, Magigoo, glue stick) for smooth glass.
Storage
PLA-CF, like other PLA materials, is partially hygroscopic. To maintain the best possible print quality:
- Keep the filament in a closed container or plastic box
- Use silica gel bags
- In case of moisture absorption, we recommend a short drying in a filament dryer or an oven with precise regulation (approx. 40–45 °C)
