3D BEST-Q PCTG Black 1.75MM 3D Printer Filament, Carbon Fiber

Product Details

• 【High Performance PCTG Filaments】Higher hardness than PETG filament, can withstand 100C , high transmittance
• 【Attention】The new Carbon Fiber PCTG filament contains approximately 10% carbon fiber fillers. Printed objects exhibit higher rigidity, lighter weight, and a matte textured surface. Please note: It is recommended to use a nozzle size of 0.4mm or larger (0.6mm is optimal). A stainless steel nozzle must be used, as carbon fiber fillers can accelerate wear on brass nozzles. Regular nozzle cleaning is also advised to prevent clogging.

Printing 3D BEST Q PCTG-CF

3D BEST Q PCTG-CF in Black is PCTG filled with chopped carbon fiber, and this listing is a 1.27kg spool. The fibers make parts stiffer and more dimensionally stable than plain PCTG, but they are abrasive, so a hardened nozzle is mandatory (see nozzle compatibility below). Few makers publish separate PCTG-CF settings, so the ranges below are for plain PCTG; 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 Fiberlogy, 3D-Fuel and Essentium data. Heat resistance is the heat deflection temperature (HDT). Read our PCTG 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.
