PLA Carbon Fiber Black Filament ALL3DP 1 kg 1.75 mm 330 m

PLA Carbon Fiber Black ALL3DP is a black composite PLA filament for FDM/FFF 3D printers with 30% carbon fiber content. It combines the printing simplicity of PLA with increased stiffness, improved shape stability, a more technical appearance and a characteristic matte carbon-fiber-like texture.

Unlike standard PLA, PLA-CF contains carbon fiber filler. With 30% carbon fiber content, printed parts look more engineering-oriented, less like decorative plastic and more suitable for prototypes, housings, brackets, holders, technical mockups and parts where stiffness, dimensional stability and a strict black matte finish are important.

PLA Carbon Fiber is more abrasive than standard PLA. For stable long-term printing, it is recommended to use a hardened steel nozzle, stainless steel nozzle, ruby nozzle or another wear-resistant nozzle. A standard brass nozzle can wear faster when printing composite filaments with carbon fiber.

✅ Key advantages

• 30% carbon fiber content — a high percentage of carbon fiber filler for stiffer, more technical material behavior.
• Increased stiffness — printed parts hold their shape better compared with standard PLA.
• Black carbon-fiber-like appearance — matte technical surface with a carbon fiber visual effect.
• Good dimensional stability — suitable for prototypes, housings and functional parts.
• Less decorative gloss — the surface looks more engineering-focused, strict and professional.
• PLA-based easy printing — does not require temperatures as high as ABS, ASA or Nylon.
• Suitable for technical projects — brackets, holders, covers, mounting elements, mockups and prototypes.
• FDM/FFF printer compatibility — suitable for 3D printers using 1.75 mm filament.

✅ 3D printer compatibility

PLA Carbon Fiber Black ALL3DP is compatible with FDM/FFF 3D printers that use 1.75 mm filament. It is suitable for Anycubic Kobra, Kobra 3, Kobra 3 Combo, Kobra 2, Kobra Max, Creality Ender 3, Ender 5, CR-10, Elegoo Neptune, Prusa, Artillery, BIQU, Tronxy, Kingroon, Voron, Bambu Lab A1 / P1 / X1 and other FDM printers after calibrating temperature, speed, retraction and cooling.

For long-term PLA-CF printing, a wear-resistant nozzle is recommended. This material is not suitable for LCD/MSLA/DLP resin printers because it is a solid filament, not liquid photopolymer resin.

🔍 PLA Carbon Fiber Black / PLA Black / PETG Carbon Fiber

Material	Key feature	Best use
PLA Carbon Fiber Black	PLA with 30% carbon fiber, high stiffness, matte carbon-fiber-like surface	Prototypes, housings, brackets, technical parts
PLA Black	Standard black PLA, easier to print and less abrasive for the nozzle	Decor, mockups, learning models, simple parts
PETG Carbon Fiber	Tougher PETG base with carbon fiber filler	Functional parts with higher impact load

📦 Storage and maintenance recommendations

• Store the spool in a dry place, preferably in a sealed bag with silica gel.
• After printing, secure the filament end in the spool hole to prevent tangling.
• If you hear popping sounds, see bubbles or notice a rough surface, dry the filament.
• Check the nozzle regularly because carbon fiber fillers accelerate wear on standard brass nozzles.
• After long composite filament prints, cleaning the nozzle with cleaning filament can be useful.

❓ FAQ

 

How much carbon fiber does PLA Carbon Fiber Black ALL3DP contain?

The carbon fiber content is 30%. This makes the material stiffer and gives it a characteristic technical carbon-fiber-like appearance.

Is this real carbon fiber?

It is a PLA composite with carbon fiber filler. It is not a solid carbon fiber laminate, but it contains carbon fiber filler and provides a stiffer structure with a matte carbon-fiber-like visual effect.

Can I print it with a standard brass nozzle?

You can use a brass nozzle for a short test, but it is not recommended for regular printing. Carbon fiber is abrasive, so a hardened steel, stainless steel or other wear-resistant nozzle is better.

Does it require an enclosed chamber?

Usually no. PLA Carbon Fiber is PLA-based and does not require an enclosed chamber, but stable ambient temperature without drafts can improve the quality of larger parts.

What parts is PLA-CF best for?

PLA-CF is suitable for prototypes, housings, brackets, technical parts, holders, mockups, engineering-style decorative models and parts where stiffness and a matte professional appearance are important.
