AnyCubic PLA-CF 3D Printer Filament 1kg, Fish Scale White

AnyCubic PLA-CF 3D Printer Filament in Fish Scale White is a high-performance material reinforced with carbon fiber, specifically engineered to provide superior structural rigidity and a unique, sophisticated aesthetic. This 1kg spool combines the ease of use associated with standard PLA with the enhanced mechanical properties of carbon fiber, making it an excellent choice for users who require both durability and visual appeal in their 3D printed projects.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this filament is its carbon fiber reinforcement, which significantly improves the stiffness and dimensional stability of printed parts compared to standard PLA. The Fish Scale White finish provides a distinct, professional matte appearance that effectively hides layer lines, resulting in a cleaner surface quality. Furthermore, the material exhibits low shrinkage, ensuring that complex models maintain their intended shape and precision throughout the printing process.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes requiring high rigidity
• Mechanical parts and structural components
• Decorative models with a unique matte aesthetic
• Durable end-use parts for hobbyist projects

This filament may not be suitable for applications requiring extreme heat resistance, as its heat deflection temperature is relatively low. Additionally, due to the abrasive nature of carbon fiber, it is not recommended for use with standard brass nozzles, as they may wear out quickly.

Key specifications

• Material: PLA reinforced with carbon fiber
• Weight: 1kg
• Color: Fish Scale White
• Recommended nozzle temperature: 210–250°C
• Recommended bed temperature: 55–70°C
• Recommended print speed: 40–250 mm/s
• Nozzle diameter: ≥ 0.4 mm

How to use

To achieve optimal results, ensure your 3D printer is equipped with a hardened steel nozzle to prevent premature wear caused by the carbon fiber content. Load the spool onto your printer's holder, ensuring the filament path is clear. Configure your slicer settings within the recommended temperature ranges for both the nozzle and the print bed. For best results, ensure the filament is dry before printing, as moisture can affect print quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your printer is compatible with abrasive materials like carbon fiber-filled filaments.
• Check that your printer supports a hardened steel nozzle.
• Verify that your print bed can reach the required temperature range.

Usage recommendations: For the highest quality prints, it is recommended to store the filament in a dry, cool environment and use a filament dryer if the material has been exposed to humidity. Always perform a test print to calibrate flow rates and retraction settings for your specific machine.
