3D Printer Filament Spectrum PLA CF 1.75 mm 1000 g TF-24094 black

Spectrum PLA CF 1.75 mm 1000 g is a composite PLA filament reinforced with short carbon fibers for FDM/FFF 3D printers. The filament combines the ease of printing associated with PLA with increased stiffness and improved surface texture thanks to the carbon fiber content. It is supplied on a 1 kg spool with a nominal diameter of 1.75 mm and is formulated to offer good dimensional stability and a matte, slightly textured finish suitable for visible functional parts and prototypes.

Advantages

Spectrum PLA CF provides higher rigidity compared with standard PLA while maintaining comparable printability and low warping. The carbon fiber reinforcement improves surface quality and reduces part weight relative to some metal-filled alternatives. The filament's consistent diameter and stable extrusion behavior contribute to reliable layer adhesion and repeatable print results across a range of typical printing temperatures for PLA-based composite materials.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes requiring increased stiffness
• Lightweight mechanical components and brackets
• Hobbyist and artistic prints where textured matte finish is desired
• Parts that benefit from improved dimensional stability

Key specifications

• Material: PLA composite reinforced with short carbon fibers
• Diameter: 1.75 mm nominal
• Spool weight: 1000 g net filament
• Finish: matte, slightly textured surface
• Recommended printer type: FDM/FFF desktop 3D printers

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm Spectrum PLA CF filament into a compatible FDM/FFF printer and set the extruder temperature according to the printer manufacturer's guidance for PLA-based composite materials, typically somewhat higher than standard PLA due to fiber content. Use an all-metal hotend if printing above typical PLA temperatures and verify filament feed and retract settings to reduce nozzle abrasion and clogging. Print on a heated bed or with proper adhesion aids to secure the first layer; bed temperatures and cooling settings should be tuned to balance adhesion and surface quality. Allow printed parts to cool gradually to preserve dimensional accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use a hardened or abrasion-resistant nozzle to minimize wear from carbon fibers. Store the filament in a dry environment or sealed bag with desiccant to prevent moisture uptake. For best surface quality, calibrate extrusion multiplier and print slower for fine details.
