PLA CarbonLook was created for prints where the visual effect of the object is more important than its industrial use. It is a unique combination of PLA (polyactide) material and a small amount of carbon fibers. The result is a filament with exceptional visual properties. Prints made of this filament have a satin, glossy surface on which the layers are almost invisible. The PLA CarbonLook filament has properties similar to other PLA filaments available in our offer. This means exceptional printability, low threading and very good intercoat adhesion. Prints are characterized by very good reproduction of details and a unique surface. To minimize friction and maximize the lifetime of the brass nozzles, the abrasive properties of the carbon fibers have been kept to a minimum. PLA CarbonLook will work great even in the simplest devices. It does not require a heated bed or closed chamber. It is characterized by low shrinkage and no unpleasant odor.
Recommended printing parameters
extrusion temperature: 185-225°C
table temperature: 40-60°C
airflow: 50-100%
printing speed: 60-80 mm/s
The filament can be printed on unheated tables, in an open chamber. In case of problems with adhesion, we recommend the use of an adhesive agent. Cooling during printing is recommended. Its power should be adapted to the capabilities of the printer and the geometry of the printed model.
