Product Details
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced PLA: Carbon fiber reinforcement improves rigidity and dimensional stability while maintaining the convenient printing characteristics of PLA. Suitable for brackets, fixtures, housings and functional prototypes.
- Fast and Stable Printing: Engineered for consistent melting and smooth material flow across standard and high-speed FDM printers. The balanced formulation supports detailed models and efficient production of functional components.
- Refined Matte Surface: The carbon fiber texture creates a low-gloss technical finish that helps reduce the visibility of layer lines. Ideal for mechanical parts, display models, tools and projects requiring a clean appearance.
- Consistent Diameter and Reliable Feeding: Controlled 1.75mm filament diameter and neatly wound layers support steady extrusion and reduce feeding interruptions during long prints. Vacuum-sealed packaging helps protect the filament from moisture.
- Recommended Printing Settings: Start with a 210–240°C nozzle, 35–65°C heated bed and 50–300mm/s print speed. Use a 0.4mm or larger hardened steel nozzle because carbon fiber-filled filament can increase nozzle wear.

Printing IEMAI PLA-CF
IEMAI PLA-CF in Matte Black is PLA filled with chopped carbon fiber, and this listing is a 1kg spool. The fibers make parts stiffer and more dimensionally stable than plain PLA, but they are abrasive, so a hardened nozzle is mandatory (see nozzle compatibility below). The ranges below are for PLA-CF, which usually prints a little hotter than plain PLA. PLA-CF is best suited to stiff, matte display pieces, desk and camera accessories, and light-duty brackets that never see heat. 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 Bambu Lab and Polymaker data. Heat resistance is the heat deflection temperature (HDT). Read our carbon fiber 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.
