Spectrum PLA Carbon Filament 1.75mm 1kg

Improved hardness and stiffness

PLA Carbon is a modified PLA-based filament mixed with carbon fibers that contributes to significantly higher stiffness, hardness and tensile strength, while maintaining low shrinkage and excellent adhesion to build platforms typical of pure PLA. The addition of 10% carbon fiber allows for matte surfaces of printed items, which significantly improves the aesthetic properties of printed items.

Tip: Due to the essential carbon fiber content, it is recommended to use nozzles with diameters larger than the standard 0.4mm. The presence of carbon fiber can also cause wear on the brass nozzle, so it is recommended to use stainless steel nozzles for long-term application of Spectrum Carbon PLA.

Main features:

• Improved hardness and stiffness compared to pure PLA
• higher lamination temperature
• improved abrasion resistance
• much higher compressive strength
• good mechanical properties
• high aesthetic quality and matt surface
• no shrinkage after cooling

Applications:

• items that need to be very rigid and hard while maintaining dimensional accuracy
• manufacturing of spacer components subjected to static compressive loads
• concept and demonstrative prototyping of finished and semi-finished products designed
• ornamental parts (aesthetic properties)
• external structural components that highlight the product
• prototyping

Packaging

The filament is wound on the neat and transparent spool. Each spool contains information about the material type, diameter and recommended printing temperature. The filament is vacuum packed with a moisture absorber. The entire product is packaged in the original Spectrum Filaments foil-lined packaging.
