HTPLA Carbon Fiber
Enhance your 3D printing capabilities with Protopasta's High Temperature Carbon Fiber PLA (HTPLA-CF). This reinforced PLA contains carbon fiber that is small enough to fit through the nozzles, but long enough to provide the extra rigidity that makes it ideal for printing frames, supports, propellers, and tools - especially for drone builders and RC Hobbyists. It is also made in the USA!
Easy to Print - Heat treat for strength
Printing with HTPLA-CF is similar to printing with standard PLA, and does not require a heated bed. It is important to note that the carbon fiber can make the PLA a little more abrasive when extruding, which can increase wear on your 3D printer - especially on lower end nozzles. The print temperature should be set between 190C-210C.
To take your 3D prints to the next level, HTPLA-CF can be heat treated to give your parts a potential Heat Deflection Temperature in excess of 140 C depending on processing. Protopasta recommends heat treating in an oven at 110 C (225 F) for an hour. If the part was printed with supports, leave them on during the heat treatment and remove them after cooling to prevent distortion.
Questions
Couldn't get this print. I am using a e3d v6... my extruder pushes through but it ends up sqishing up in the hot end... im using a .8mm nozzle. ABS and PLA print fine :-/
Is this safe for contact with food?
"Flexible" is a subjective word ... could you please provide the durometer so I can understand what you mean by that word?
Hi, I just purchased T-Lyne in 1.75mm and 3mm filaments. I got a Lulzbot taz 6 and a Creality Cr10S with micro Swiss hot end. I have a hard time getting a good print in both cases. Do you have any specs, videos, tests about this filament? Thanks!
Hey @Phil,
We do not yet have any information on the printing specifications of the material but would be more than happy to help dial the settings in if you reach out to us at support@matterhackers.com!
