Prof. Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Blue (blue with carbon fiber) 1 kg

Prof. Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Blue – blue PLA with carbon fiber for strong and design parts

Prof. Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Blue (blue with carbon fiber) 1 kg is a special PLA filament reinforced with finely chopped carbon fibers. Thanks to this, it offers higher stiffness, strength, and resistance to deformation while maintaining the printing ease typical for PLA.

The combination of carbon filler and deep blue color creates an elegant matte surface with a fine carbon texture, where the layers are less visible. The filament is suitable for both desktop and professional FDM/FFF 3D printers.

Main advantages

• Reinforced PLA with carbon fiber – higher stiffness and mechanical strength compared to standard PLA.
• Matte blue carbon surface – attractive appearance, less visible layers, suitable for visual as well as functional parts.
• Good dimensional stability – low shrinkage, minimal warping, easy printing without complex tuning.
• Low weight – carbon fiber increases stiffness but maintains low material density.
• Dimensional accuracy – diameter 1,75 mm with tight tolerance ensures smooth feeding and stable extrusion.
• Compatible with most FDM/FFF printers – suitable for open and enclosed machines, ideally with a hardened nozzle.

Recommended applications

This filament is ideal for:

• Functional prototypes and technical parts – brackets, jigs, consoles, covers, lightly loaded mechanical components.
• RC models, drones, and mock-ups – parts where the combination of stiffness, low weight, and nice surface is useful.
• Design and decorative objects – matte carbon appearance in blue color for modern aesthetics.
• Electronics housings and covers – strong and stiff material with a professional look.

Warning: Carbon fiber is abrasive – for long-term printing it is recommended to use a hardened steel or ruby nozzle instead of a standard brass one.

Recommended print settings

Specific values may vary depending on printer type, flow, and cooling, but as initial settings you can use:

• Filament diameter: 1,75 mm
• Nozzle temperature: approx. 200–220 °C
• Bed temperature: approx. 50–60 °C (it is possible to print at a lower temperature with good adhesion)
• Print speed: approximately 40–70 mm/s
• Cooling fan: medium to high – depending on the model geometry
• Recommended nozzle: 0,4–0,6 mm, ideally hardened due to the abrasiveness of carbon fiber

For best results, store the filament in a dry place (resealable bag, drybox) and before longer print jobs, dry it in a filament dryer if needed.

Technical specifications

Why choose Prof. Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Blue

If you are looking for a filament that:

• prints almost as easily as classic PLA,
• but offers higher strength, stiffness, and a more durable surface,
• and at the same time has an attractive matte blue carbon appearance,

then Prof. Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Blue (blue with carbon fiber) is an excellent choice for your everyday as well as more demanding 3D printing projects.

Key features:

• PLA filament reinforced with carbon fibers for higher strength and stiffness
• Attractive blue color with a matte carbon surface and less visible layers
• Easy printing with behavior similar to classic PLA, low shrinkage, and minimal warping
• Suitable for functional prototypes, technical parts, RC models, and design prints
• Good dimensional accuracy and stable extrusion thanks to high-quality manufacturing
• Optimal for printing with a hardened nozzle due to the abrasiveness of carbon fibers
