Protopasta Protopasta Black Carbon Fiber Composite HTPLA Filament - 2.85mm (0.5kg)
Protopasta High-Temperature Carbon Fiber PLA (HTPLA-CF) offers increased heat resistance, rigidity, and structural support. Perfect for 3D printing items that require extra strength and heat resistance, such as frames, supports, props, and tools. Printable without a heated bed and can be heat-treated for increased heat deflection up to 140C.
- Increased strength and rigidity
- Easy to print like PLA
- Heat-treatable for higher temperature performance

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
Can you post a picture of how this looks connected to a Taz5?
I want to use Bond Tech Extruder for my taz5 3d printer. What settings should I change, such as firmware and extruder speed? please answer about my question.
Can you tell me how to attach the mount and cable to the TAZ 5 printer?
2 extruders on a taz6.... presumably this means you could print something using BOTH rigid (nylon) and flexible filaments.... how would you set this up?
How does this attach to my TAZ 5? Do I need to print a bracket? If I do, is it already created somewhere?
How can you attach this mount to the printer's rails when these extruders have to move laterally on the x-axis? All of the rails on the Taz 5/6 that accept T slot connectors are rigid and stationary and part of the frame. Instead this mount has to attach to the carriage assembly that rides back and forth on the x-rails. Not sure what printer this is really designed for but it is clearly not going to work on a Taz 5/6 printer as shown. Perhaps the documentation you are presenting is wrong or key details are omitted.
Hey Billy D,
My apologies for the delay on this response, it looks like this mounts on the top of the Z gantry out of the way of the print head and all of it's movement. So this system mounts on the T-Slot frame. Please feel free to reach out to us through email or give us a call if you have more questions!
