Bambu Lab PLA-CF

Stiff, matte and premium-looking

PLA-CF is a tough PLA with added carbon fibres. They make prints stiffer and harder, while it prints as easily and accurately as regular PLA. The result is a matte finish with almost invisible layer lines, ideal for prototypes and parts with a professional look.

Spool or refill?

Two ways to buy Bambu Lab PLA-CF

Filament on a spool

Ready to print. Keep the reusable spool for your next refills.

Carbon fibre is abrasive: always use a hardened steel nozzle and no 0.2 mm nozzle.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a special nozzle?

Yes. Carbon fibre quickly wears down a standard nozzle. Use a hardened steel nozzle of 0.4 mm or larger. A 0.2 mm nozzle can clog.

Does PLA-CF work in the AMS?

Yes, Bambu PLA-CF works in the AMS. Thanks to the RFID chip, the AMS recognises the colour and print settings automatically.

Can I order a colour that’s out of stock?

No, we only sell filament from stock. Click the colour you want in the colour chart and ask to be notified as soon as it’s back in stock.

How should I store this filament?

Dry and airtight, below 20% humidity, for example with desiccant. If the filament has absorbed moisture, dry it: 8 hours at 55 °C in a drying oven.

How fast is delivery?

In-stock items are usually delivered within 1 to 3 working days in Belgium. Collection in Aalst is also possible.
