Light Gray Carbon Fiber Composite HTPLA

Great filament but a little expensive

Amazing filament and looks amazing. Just a little on the expensive side. Will definitely buy more

Great filament, easy to print!

Great stuff, everything about it except the price is wonderful ;) I'm printing with the Ender 3 V3 SE (modded with the "Improved Nano Coating Sprite Extruder Pro Bimetallic Heatbreak" from Polis3d. I set my specs according to the blog post on Protopasta HTPLA and took the advice of other reviewers for temp settings Speed: 60mm Outer Wall 30mm Layer Height .22 Line width .42 Brim adhesion 220°C - Print Temp 60°C - Bed Temp The results are really great. I have both the light and dark gray carbon fiber and both look really sleek and hide layer lines well. I plan on salt-annealing my parts but the recommendations for straight up oven annealing on the website are pretty spot on with the small test prints I made. I'll definitely buy this product again!

Great product, great people

The filament prints wonderfully! All the layers are crisp and consistent which until using protopasta filament, I thought was the fault of my printer. The carbon fiber composite is great because it offers end-use component capabilities at an affordable price and great printablity. The steel filled pla is just the same. And though it requires a little bit of post processing, it’s very convincing. I printed and processed a trombone mouthpiece and it preforms far better than normal plastic mouthpieces and only slightly behind authentic metal. Only recommendation I have is that people get a hardened nozzle and filament runout sensor since this stuff is very stiff and brittle on the spool.
