The fibres lift the stiffness and bending modulus well above plain PLA while keeping the easy, forgiving printing behaviour and dimensional stability that makes PLA the go-to for most people. The result is a filament that prints at PLA temperatures but produces parts that feel engineered rather than decorative — plus a deep matte, lightly textured surface that does a genuinely good job of hiding layer lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.7; color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003eIt suits makers and small businesses printing functional parts — brackets, jigs, mounts, drone and RC components, tool holders, bike and frame hardware — as well as schools and hobbyists who want display models and props that look finished without sanding or painting. If you have been printing PLA Basic and want more rigidity and a more premium finish without stepping up to the heat and fumes of ABS or PA, this is the natural next material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border:none; border-top:2px solid #FCD361; margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:Poppins, sans-serif; color:#020873; margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height:2.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eCarbon fibre reinforced\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eHigh bending modulus (≈3950 MPa)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eMatte, low-sheen finish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eMinimised layer lines\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eLow warp, easy bed adhesion\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eAMS compatible (RFID tagged)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003ePrints up to 200 mm\/s\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003e±0.03 mm diameter tolerance\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003e6 colours\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border:none; border-top:2px solid #FCD361; margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:Poppins, sans-serif; color:#020873; margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003ePrint settings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height:1.9; color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNozzle temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210–240 °C (start around 220 °C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBed temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35–45 °C — use a glue stick or PLA-friendly plate for adhesion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 200 mm\/s — a 0.6 mm nozzle is the sweet spot for strength and flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart cooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e run the fan high, the same as you would for standard PLA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNozzle:\u003c\/strong\u003e hardened steel in 0.4, 0.6 or 0.8 mm.

Carbon fibre is mildly abrasive and will quietly erode a brass nozzle over a few spools — you will notice it as under-extrusion and rough top surfaces long before you think to blame the nozzle. A 0.6 mm hardened nozzle is the easy-life choice: it cuts clog risk and prints faster, and the matte CF texture means you lose very little detail at the larger line width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.7; color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003eKeep it dry and keep it sealed. PLA-CF absorbs moisture faster than plain PLA, and damp filament shows up as popping sounds, stringing and brittle parts. Store spools in a sealed box or bag with fresh desiccant below 20% RH, and if a spool has been sitting out, run it through a dryer at 55 °C for 8 hours before an important print. Also note that the carbon fibre reinforces stiffness rather than toughness — PLA-CF is stiffer but less flexible than standard PLA, so for parts that need to bend or absorb impact, PETG or PA are better picks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f7f8ff; border-left:4px solid #020873; border-radius:4px; padding:18px 22px; margin-top:24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0; color:#020873; font-weight:600;\"\u003eStock held in Australia · Fast dispatch · GST-inclusive pricing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bambu Lab","offers":[{"title":"Burgundy Red (14200)","offer_id":53666083242273,"sku":null,"price":53.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Jeans Blue (14600)","offer_id":53666083275041,"sku":null,"price":53.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lava Gray (14101)","offer_id":53666083307809,"sku":null,"price":53.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matcha Green (14500)","offer_id":53666083340577,"sku":null,"price":53.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal Blue (14601)","offer_id":53666083373345,"sku":null,"price":53.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Iris Purple (14700)","offer_id":53666083406113,"sku":null,"price":53.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5046\/9153\/files\/6c5ecb48a6304e16a61a49aea51e2e92.png?v=1790952114","url":"https:\/\/ne3dprinting.myshopify.com\/products\/bambu-lab-pla-cf","provider":"NE3D Printing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
