Anycubic PLA-CF - PLA reinforced with carbon fiber for rigid parts
PLA filament loaded with carbon fiber that combines the ease of printing of PLA with superior rigidity and dimensional stability. Carbon fiber reduces warping, improves flexural strength and provides a premium matte finish with a technical appearance. Ideal for functional and aesthetic parts that require greater rigidity.
Technical specifications
- Material: PLA loaded with carbon fiber (Carbon Fiber)
- Diameter: 1.75 mm (± 0.03 mm)
- Weight: 1 kg
- Printing temperature: 210-230°C
- Bed temperature: 45-60°C
- Recommended printing speed: 40-80 mm/s
Distinguishing features
- High rigidity thanks to carbon fibers
- Excellent dimensional stability and low warping
- Premium matte finish with technical texture
- Hides layer lines very well
- Greater flexural strength than standard PLA
- Lightweight and resistant
Ideal applications
- Structural parts and brackets
- Frames and components for drones and RC
- Technical supports and fixtures
- Rigid functional prototypes
- Aesthetic objects with a "carbon" look
Requirements and compatibility
- Hardened steel nozzle mandatory: carbon fiber is abrasive and quickly wears brass nozzles
- Recommended nozzle diameter: 0.4 mm or larger (0.6 mm for best flow)
- Compatible with 1.75mm FDM/FFF printers
- Direct Drive extruder recommended for more stable feeding
Printing tips
- Optimal temperature: 215-225°C for good layer cohesion
- First layer: reduced speed and bed at 55-60°C for stable adhesion
- Cooling: moderate (active after the first layer)
- Store in a dry place: carbon fiber is sensitive to humidity
- Avoid small diameter nozzles (risk of clogging)
Anycubic PLA-CF is the ideal choice for those who want rigid, stable prints with a premium technical appearance, maintaining the simplicity of PLA but with superior mechanical and aesthetic performance.
