Protopasta 3D Printer Filament, PLA Filament Features
-
Versatile - Our most popular exotic material, Protopasta Carbon Fiber Composite HTPLA is a combination of milled carbon fibers and high-performance PLA. Resulting 3D prints made with our Carbon Fiber HTPLA are demonstrably more rigid, providing excellent structural strength and layer adhesion with very low warpage.
-
Finishing Variety - The embedded carbon provides a beautiful matte black finish with a slight sheen, resulting in 3D prints with exceptional accuracy, finish, and performance! The carbon fibers give the surface a nice sheen and with layer heights under 0.1mm the layers blend into the texture and almost disappear. Printed parts using Carbon Fiber HTPLA can be shaved/carved with a sharp blade for a smooth finish.
-
High Quality - Proto-pasta offers only U.S-made, high-quality 3D printer filament PLA. Using only premium materials with a focus on craftsmanship this PLA 1.75 is one you can trust to get the job done.
-
Easier to Use - This PLA Filament 1.75 mm has been flow-optimized and has less moisture than standard PLAs to help avoid heat soak and to keep mass flow up. This combination of features makes it easier to use than most standard PLAs.
-
Widely Compatible - Designed to work with most standard 3D printers this 3D filament PLA 1.75 has a wide range of compatibility that allows you to run a business or simply create premium pieces in the comfort of your own home.
About Protopasta 3D Printer Filament, PLA Filament
Introducing Black Carbon Fiber HT PLA Composite. Printed prototypes and end use parts using Protopasta Carbon Fiber HTPLA are characterized by exceptional stability of form and potential use up to 155 deg C (310 deg F) when heat treated. Carbon Fiber HTPLA is optimized for heat treating (also known as annealing or crystallizing) for higher temperature use. Heat treating creates a more crystalline molecular structure for maintaining stiffness to near melting, thus extending the useful range of HTPLA, but crystallization also creates shrinkage. HTPLA parts should be scaled in slicer to compensate for shrinkage when heat treating. Material Data Base resin: HTPLA - Heat Treatable PLA Particle size: less than 250 microns (0.25mm) Odor: low or no Density: Approx. 2.30 g/cc Length (500g): 97m (1.75mm) and 36m (2.85mm) Heat treating: 110C (225F) for 10 min or as required for the desired result Total loss of stiffness (before heat treat): 50-60C (Tg) Total loss of stiffness (after heat treat): 150-175C (melting) Dimension change (before heat treat): 0% X/Y/Z Dimension change (after heat treat): 1.5% shrink X/Y and 1% growth Z typical but please calculate and confirm for your specific print and process Printer Settings Speed: 10-20 mm/s 1st layer, 20-80 mm/s rest of part Nozzle Set-point: 185-215C (hottest on 1st layer for best adhesion) Nozzle Actual: maintain set-point, reduce speed if less than Nozzle Type: Standard or wear-resistant for extended use Nozzle Diameter: 0.6mm or larger preferred, 0.4mm okay with 0.25mm minimum for experts Layer thickness: 0.15-0.20mm recommended for a balance of quality, reliability, and productivity Bed Temperature: Room-60C (over 60C can worsen w
