High Temp Resistant PLA + Medium Grey Carbon Fibre - 1.75mm - 500g - UNTIL SOLD OUT
High Temperature Resistant (annealable) Carbon Fiber / PLA Blend
FeaturesSpecsSupport
This new formulation is higher performing, more obviously heat treatable, and lower cost. This tough PLA prints with ease but has a potential Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of as much as 155°C (310°F) depending on post-processing. This means parts retain more stiffness and form at higher temperatures (no warping on your sunny car dashboard).
Abrasive materials like Carbon Fiber and Metal Composites may cause premature wear of in line components such as bowden tubes, drive gears, nozzles, and other items in the filament travel path. Serviceable hardware including replaceable nozzles suggested. Wear resistant nozzles are recommended for extended use.
Use standard PLA parameters with standard build surface preparation (blue tape, glue stick, or BuildTak). No heated bed required. Some shrinkage may occur in the annealing process, so dimension critical parts may need to be scaled as much as 2.5% to compensate.
Prints with standard PLA settings, on a cold bed.
For maximum performance, your prints should be heat treated (i.e. crystallized) in an oven until you see a change from translucent to opaque. There is an obvious visual change indicating the improved performance! We had good luck in a lab oven at 110°C (230°F) for an hour or less. We recommend leaving the supports on your parts, placing them on a non-radiating surface (like glass, ceramic, or composite), and letting them cool in the oven to minimize distortion. Parts can be baked at a lower temperature (though must be above 60°C for any change to occur) for a longer time with less risk of unwanted deformation.

High Temp Resistant PLA + Black Carbon Fibre - 1.75mm - 500g - UNTIL SOLD OUT
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. The embedded carbon provides a beautiful matte black finish with a slight sheen, resulting in 3D prints with exceptional accuracy, finish, and performance!

Matte Fiber HTPLA - 1.75mm - Black - 500g Spool - UNTIL SOLD OUT
Based on Proto-pasta HTPLA, this Matte Fiber version can be heat treated to retain more stiffness to higher temperatures. The plant-based fibers improve adhesion of glues and coatings. Similar to Carbon Fiber HTPLA, Matte Fiber does NOT require a wear resistant nozzle.
