Gembird PLA carbon 0.8 kg

Gembird PLA Carbon filament 1.75mm

PLA filament with a special composition of carbon fibres offers enhanced mechanical properties compared to standard PLA. The added carbon increases material strength and rigidity while maintaining the easy printability typical of PLA. Thanks to the carbon particles, the prints gain a matte finish with a fine texture.

Key Features

Enhanced Mechanical Properties

• Increased strength and rigidity due to the addition of carbon fibres
• Lower flexibility compared to regular PLA
• Matte finish with fine texture

Easy Printing

• Low shrinkage during printing
• Good adhesion to the print bed
• Suitable for printing without a heated chamber

Eco-Friendly Aspect

• Biodegradable material based on plant starches
• Low emissions during printing
• Suitable for printing in enclosed spaces

Recommended Printing Parameters

• Nozzle Temperature: 190-220 °C
• Bed Temperature: 45-60 °C
• Printing Speed: 30-60 mm/s
• Cooling: 100%
• Layer Height: 0.1-0.3 mm
• Retraction: 4-6 mm

Technical Specifications

• Filament Diameter: 1.75 mm ±0.05 mm
• Spool Weight: 0.8 kg
• Material Density: 1.24 g/cm³
• Temperature Resistance: up to 60 °C

Applications

• Technical models requiring higher strength
• Functional prototypes
• Architectural models
• Decorative items with a matte finish
• Educational projects and hobby printing

Storage and Maintenance

The filament is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber to ensure optimal printing properties. For long-term storage, it is recommended to:

• Avoid direct sunlight exposure
• Store in a dry place at room temperature
• Keep in a resealable bag with silica gel beads, or use a PolyDryer filament dryer, , which provides effective drying and protection against moisture. In case of moisture absorption, dry the filament at 45-50 °C for 4-6 hours.
