Material · PLA-CF
PLA-CF – stiff, matte, technical
Carbon-fibre reinforced PLA: very stiff, deep matte black surface, no visible layers. For visible parts with a technical look.
The carbon fibres make the part noticeably stiffer and hide the layer lines almost completely. The result looks machined. It remains PLA though: not for heat, not for outdoors. We print it with a hardened nozzle, which is why it costs more and the smallest nozzle is 0.4 mm.
Typical parts
Visible parts for presentations, drone frames and mounts, camera mounts, enclosures with a technical look, prototypes for trade shows.
Print settings
Standard 0.20 mm layers, 30 % infill, 0.4 mm nozzle. The calculator shows what finer layers or more infill cost.
