PLA-CF Carbon Fiber Filament 1.75mm 1kg Lightweight High-Stiffness Matte Lava Gray

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Lightweight parts that flex, droop, or vibrate under load? Carbon-fiber-reinforced PLA-CF boosts stiffness dramatically while staying light, so drone frames, jigs, and brackets hold their shape without the weight penalty of solid metal.

  • A single signature finish
  • The carbon fiber content is evenly dispersed and laser-measured at 1.75mm
  • PLA-like printability: 200-220°C nozzle

Quick Answer

What does carbon fiber add to PLA?

Short carbon fibers reinforce the PLA matrix, sharply increasing stiffness and reducing flex and creep under load while keeping the part lightweight. PLA-CF also improves dimensional stability, so thin, long, or large parts hold their shape better than plain PLA.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

3 reasons

A single signature finish

matte lava gray — with the subtle woven texture of carbon fiber reinforcement and a low-gloss surface that hides layer lines and reads as high-end engineering hardware.

The carbon fiber content is evenly dispersed and laser-measured at 1.75mm, so extrusion stays consistent and parts keep tight dimensional accuracy — with tangle-free winding and vacuum-sealed, desiccant-protected packaging.

PLA-like printability: 200-220°C nozzle, 45-60°C bed, no enclosure, and it runs on Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, and Anycubic machines — use a hardened steel nozzle for the abrasive compound.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does carbon fiber add to PLA?
Short carbon fibers reinforce the PLA matrix, sharply increasing stiffness and reducing flex and creep under load while keeping the part lightweight. PLA-CF also improves dimensional stability, so thin, long, or large parts hold their shape better than plain PLA.
Can my printer handle PLA-CF?
Yes — it is standard 1.75mm filament for Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Anycubic, and most FDM machines. Because carbon fiber is abrasive, use a hardened steel nozzle (0.4-0.6mm) to avoid rapid wear of brass nozzles.
What temperatures should I use?
Print at 200-220°C nozzle and a 45-60°C bed, with cooling at 30-60% after the first layers. Slow the first layer to 20-30mm/s; slightly larger nozzle openings reduce clog risk with the fiber-filled compound.
How much can I print from one 1kg spool?
A 1.75mm, 1kg spool holds roughly 330 meters — enough for a full drone frame, several jigs, or dozens of small stiff brackets and fixtures at 15-20% infill.
What does the lava gray finish look like?
Lava gray is a deep, warm gray with a subtle matte texture and a hint of carbon-fiber weave on flat surfaces. It hides layer lines well, photographs cleanly, and pairs with black or metal accents for a professional engineering look.
What print speed should I use?
Print at 30-60mm/s for crisp detail and clean matte surfaces; slower speeds improve interlayer fusion for load-bearing parts. The fiber content makes walls stiffer, so overhangs and bridges need adequate cooling support.
Is PLA-CF for prototypes or production parts?
Both, leaning functional: drone frames, robotics arms, jigs, fixtures, brackets, and tooling aids where stiffness-to-weight ratio matters. It is production-capable for indoor parts but not for sustained outdoor UV or high-heat exposure.
How is it packaged and stored?
Each spool is vacuum-sealed with a desiccant pouch in a moisture barrier bag. Store unused filament in the resealed bag or a dry box below 20% relative humidity to keep the compound stiff and clog-free.
