Product Description
ZYLtech Carbon Fiber PLA Composite 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm 1 kg/2.2 lbs Color: Black (FMT-PLA-CARFI)
ZYLtech PLA is an affordable PLA filament formulated to highlight the best attributes of the material: quality, reliability and ease to print. We recommend using a hardened nozzle (stainless steel, hardened steel, etc). The carbon fibers in this filament will quickly wear out standard brass nozzles, resulting in uneven, over-extruded prints. Includes 15% fine chopped carbon fibers for increased rigidity and unique surface finish. Note that the SAME Carbon Fiber PLA filament is on a NEW spool and in a new box. The filament itself remains the same as on the original spools.
Specifications:
- Filament Diameter: 1.75mm
- Tolerance: ±0.02mm max
- Extruder Temp: 210C-240°C
- Bed Temp: 55-65°C
Print Tips:
- Leveling for PLA filament:
- If you use the paper method to level, we usually suggest leveling as you would for PLA then setting a Z offset of +.5-1mm.
- PLA does not like to “squish.”
- First Layer Adherence:
- We have found that 0% fan for the first 2 layers gives the best chance to avoid curling/warping.
- Layer Adhesion:
- PLA 3d printer filament will adhere to itself more efficiently when printed with little to no parts cooling fan. If you are working with fine detail or bridging, you will have to experiment with parts cooling fan settings for best results.
- Stringing and retraction:
- You will typically need to increase the retraction distance and retraction speed vs printing with PLA. You will need to experiment with stringing and retraction test models to dial in your machine’s settings.
