Professional Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Blue 1kg

Professional Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Blue is a composite PLA filament with carbon fiber additive, designed for users who require not only a nice surface, but also higher stiffness and strength compared to standard PLA.

Thanks to the carbon fibers, this material offers a matte surface, carbon texture and significantly suppressed layers, which is ideal for technical components, mounts, jigs, RC and drone parts, design covers or prototypes.

Carbon fibers increase stiffness and dimensional stability, but the material is abrasive – we recommend using a hardened or otherwise wear-resistant nozzle.

Key properties

• PLA composite with carbon fibers – better stiffness and strength than standard PLA
• Blue color with a matte carbon look – attractive appearance, almost invisible layers
• High dimensional stability – low shrinkage and deformation, suitable for functional parts
• Easy printing like standard PLA – no need for an enclosed chamber, minimal warping
• Lightweight and strong material – suitable for structural and mechanically stressed parts
• Ideal for fast printing (compared to other technical materials, e.g. PETG-CF, Nylon-CF)
• Standard diameter 1,75 mm with tight tolerance for stable and reliable feeding

Recommended applications

Professional Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Blue is particularly suitable for:

• Functional prototypes and jigs
• Mounts, brackets and assembly elements
• Parts for RC models and drones, where the weight/strength ratio is important
• Design and cover parts with a matte technical appearance
• Models requiring precise dimensions and good stiffness

It is not recommended for parts exposed to long-term high temperatures (e.g. in a car in direct sunlight) – it is still PLA-based.

Printing recommendations

Specific values may vary depending on the printer, nozzle and cooling – take the values below as starting settings.

• Nozzle temperature: 210–230 °C
• Bed temperature: 35–60 °C (depending on the type of bed and part size)
• Print speed: 40–80 mm/s (for detailed parts use rather the lower end)
• Cooling: 50–100 % (depending on the shape and size of the part)
• Recommended nozzle: hardened steel or ruby, min. 0,4 mm

For best results:

• store the filament in a dry environment (sealed box/bag with silica gel),
• for longer prints consider pre-drying the filament (approx. 50–55 °C for several hours),
• regularly check the condition of the nozzle – carbon fibers gradually wear it out.

Technical specifications

Advantages compared to standard PLA

• Significantly higher stiffness and strength – suitable for functional components
• Better surface appearance – matte, technical, with suppressed layers
• Greater dimensional stability – less prone to deformation and warping
• Easy setup – can be printed similarly to standard PLA profiles

If you are looking for a filament that combines easy printing, great appearance and better mechanical properties, Professional Lab PLA Carbon Fiber Blue is an ideal choice for your professional and hobby projects.
