\n

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.<\/p>\n

Protopasta Carbon Fiber PLA<\/strong> 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\u00a0more rigid\u00a0with easy processing (often using standard PLA settings) and support removal. \u00a0Excellent layer adhesion and minimal\u00a0warpage even without a heated bed make this a great everyday exotic for accurate parts. Layer lines disappear with the beautiful matte black finish. \u00a0Also has a slight sheen due to the embedded carbon making it very photogenic!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

CF-PLA is slightly more brittle than standard PLA, and requires extra care when handling.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Processing is comparable to standard PLA. No heated bed required. Process may be less consistent on smaller nozzles and\/or bowden type machines.<\/p>\n

We frequently print using direct-drive systems with 0.4mm nozzles and print as high as 240C, though suggest 0.6mm and 210-230C for the best experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
