Protopasta CF-PLA – The Original Composite Carbon Fibre PLA

The original is still the best! World’s First Carbon Fibre PLA filament was kickstarted by ProtoPlant nearly 5 years ago. Others try, but can’t match the quality and ease of printing experience afforded by this product. Available at a cost low enough for everyday printing.

Protopasta Carbon Fiber PLA is based on our easy printing, high quality PLA. Made from the highest quality, dry ingredients and extruded with care in our Washington facility on our own purpose-built extrusion systems. CFPLA prints are demonstrably more rigid with easy processing (often using standard PLA settings) and support removal.  Excellent layer adhesion and minimal warpage even without a heated bed make this a great everyday exotic for accurate parts. Layer lines disappear with the beautiful matte black finish.  Also has a slight sheen due to the embedded carbon making it very photogenic!

This filament is slightly more abrasive than standard PLA. Be prepared to replace your nozzle and do 1st layer adjustment after prolonged use or upgrade to a wear resistant nozzle for less maintenance. A minimum size of 0.4mm is recommended.
