Product Details
- YOUSU PP-CF filament is a specially engineered carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene filament, is made using a specialty formulated polypropylene copolymer reinforced with high-modulus chopped carbon fiber. This filament is based on a patent-pending formulation that offers improved thermal properties and low shrinkage/warp compared to competitive PP-based compounds.
- High strength and stiffness,Excellent resistance against a huge variety of chemicals,a hardened steel nozzle was suggested.
- Low density and weight,Up to 30% lighter than traditional PLA filament.
- Minimal shrinkage and warpage and allow user to print lightweight and exceptionally rigid parts for high-end application, such as automotive, aerospace, nautical and sporting goods
- No drying required and easy to print,suitable for use on practically any 3D printer.

Printing Yousu PP-CF
Yousu PP-CF in Black is PP filled with chopped carbon fiber, and this listing is a 0.7kg spool. The fibers make parts stiffer and more dimensionally stable than plain PP, but they are abrasive, so a hardened nozzle is mandatory (see nozzle compatibility below). Few makers publish separate PP-CF settings, so the ranges below are for plain PP; expect to print toward the top of them. Brands and even individual spools vary, so treat these as starting points and run a quick temperature tower to lock in the sweet spot for your printer.
Ranges checked against Prusa and Fiberlogy data. Heat resistance is the heat deflection temperature (HDT). Read our PP filament guide for bed adhesion, drying, troubleshooting, and material-specific tips.
Nozzle Compatibility
Carbon fiber is abrasive and wears brass (and stainless) nozzles out of round, sometimes within a single spool. Use hardened steel or another wear resistant nozzle such as ruby or tungsten carbide. With hardened steel, start about 5 to 10°C hotter than you would with brass.
Based on Bambu Lab and Prusa guidance. More in our carbon fiber filament guide and nozzle types guide.
