Protoplant started a trend with the original Easy Printing Exotic!
Protopasta Carbon Fibre PLA is based on the easy-to-print, high-quality Protoplant PLA. Made from high-quality dry ingredients and carefully extruded in the Washington factory on their purpose-built extrusion systems. CFPLA prints are proven to be stiffer with easy processing (often using standard PLA settings) and assisted removal. Excellent layer adhesion and minimal warping even without a heated bed make it a great exotic for precise parts. Layer planes disappear with the beautiful matte black finish. Protoplant Carbon also has a slight sheen due to the embedded carbon, making it very photogenic!
This filament is a bit more abrasive than standard PLA, so be prepared to replace your nozzle and do the first layer adjustment after extended use, or upgrade to a wear-resistant nozzle for less maintenance.6
Available in diameters 1.75 and 2.85 (3) mm.
Can be used on most PLA compatible printers such as Lulzbot, Makerbot, FlashForge, Dremel, Ultimaker, Printrbot and many more.
In filament form, CFPLA is slightly more brittle than standard PLA and requires special care when handling. Processing is comparable to standard PLA. No heated print bed is required. With smaller nozzles and/or Bowden machines, the process may be less consistent.
We recommend printing with direct drive systems with 0.6 mm nozzles at temperatures of 210 to 230 °C.5
