Some machines may require specific considerations for filament placement, path, adjustments, settings, or other preparation & maintenance.
Abrasive materials like Carbon Fiber and Metal Composites may cause premature wear of in line components such as bowden tubes, drive gears, nozzles, and other items in the filament travel path. Serviceable hardware including replaceable nozzles suggested. Wear resistant nozzles are recommended for extended use. Nozzles wear most quickly with flattening of the tip which affects nozzle diameter & distance to build plate. Inconsistent extrusion, inaccuracy & process instability. Extrusion width & first layer distance adjustments and/or replacement of nozzle. For more on nozzle replacement consider this blog demonstrating nozzle replacement & adjustments on a Prusa MK3. Reduce nozzle wear by minimizing over-extrusion & infill.
Product label suggest temperatures as a guideline based on typical nozzle set points. Appropriate settings can vary widely & in given good conditions, a wide range of temperatures can yield positive results. With relatively low print rates on hardware without hangups, HTPLA prints well at the low side of the recommended range. With high print rates on machines with hardware hangups, higher than labeled temperatures may be required for consistent extrusion. In some cases, oiling filament makes the difference between success & failure.
One specific problematic example is the Prusa MK3 which, by design, has a Prusa-specific heat break with an internal ledge that material can get caught on. To reduce need for nuance & risk of jamming, users should either replace the Prusa-specific heat break with a standard e3d v6 one, oil filament to help it slip past the Prusa-specific ledge, or print at an unusually high temperature. The trade off with high temperature as a solution is you should also match that with a high volume flow rate. Sounds great, right? It's okay except for the loss of detail when having to slow down for small part, fine feature, or high resolution printing.
Prusa MK3-specific, Carbon Fiber HTPLA process recommendations:
Volume flow = extrusion width x layer height x speed in mm.
For example, 0.5 mm extrusion width & 0.2 mm layer height for speed 20-90 mm/s.
Poorly cooled cold sides of all metal hotends can yield a similar result & benefit from similar fixes to the Prusa MK3. Aggressive layer fans not isolated from heat blocks and/or nozzles can make for a jammy combination as well. Finding the balance between enough cooling fan when printing fast & a high enough nozzle set-point can be challenging. More isolated hotends with PTFE liners can allow slower printing with lower set points for more detail with less aggressive layer fan settings. Also, insulating your heater block and/or nozzle with a sock can help avoid unwanted layer fan cooling. Rapid changes in speed or print rate should also be avoided whenever possible.
For more on the subject of printing, consider our getting started guide.
HTPLA is a semi-crystalline grade of PLA optimized for heat treating (also known as annealing or crystallizing) for higher temperature use. Without heat treating, "as printed" amorphous PLA loses significant stiffness (and the thus the ability to retain form) as the material approaches it's relatively low glass transition temperature. Heat treating creates a more crystalline molecular structure for maintaining stiffness to near melting, thus extending the useful range of HTPLA, but crystallization also creates shrinkage. HTPLA parts should be scaled in slicer to compensate for shrinkage when heat treating.
A large range of temperatures & times can yield acceptable results. With translucent grades and thin wall parts like a single wall vase, you can see a visual change from transparent to opaque begin in as little as 3 minutes with a full transition to opaque in 7 minutes. Parts with more mass will take more time. What's important is the core temp and time to ensure a comprehensive change in material structure to crystalline throughout the part.
Here's a demonstration of measuring shrinkage, determining change, and applying compensation in printing. Here's additional demonstration of application of scale, heat treating, and validation of form.
Additional post processes might include sanding or painting. The addition of Carbon Fiber can lend well to ease of sanding and adhesion of coatings like paint, however, there are also additional safety considerations when generating dust through sanding and fumes through coating. Please seek safe practices with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and ventilation.

Loose coils can be very tricky to manage. Going cowboy on your spool handling can quickly end up in a frustrating, tangled mess. Keep your loose coils wrangled with a spool holder like masterspool for a more trouble-free experience. Find out more about loose coil handling in Keith's blog post.
And for spooled filament, never let go of the loose end. When not in the printer extruder, tuck it away in the cardboard spool's corrugation! Also, avoid sharp bends and excessive force when loading filament into your printer.
At Proto-pasta, we make high quality filament. We aspire to make exceptional results easy, but a positive result is very much dependent on your hardware, set-up, adjustments, and process parameters. Matching hardware with process and material for a positive experience is not always straight-forward, but you can start by pairing the following settings with your printer for a good starting point, then tune or troubleshoot as required.
Volume flow rate together with temperature dictates how melted the material is. This is hardware & condition dependent based on hot end, nozzle & extruder type, material & manufacturer as well as layer fan type, position & settings. Extrusion width, layer thickness & speed changes affect volume flow which may change required/desired temperature.

Our most popular exotic material, prints made with our Carbon Fiber PLA are demonstrably more rigid, providing excellent structural strength and layer adhesion with very low warpage. It has a beautiful matte black finish with a slight sheen due to the embedded carbon.
What is it made out of?
Because of the chopped carbon, Protopasta Carbon Fiber PLA may have trouble getting through smaller nozzles. We have had good success using a .5mm nozzle and direct-drive spring loaded pinch-roll style extrusion head.Generally, our customers find it prints just like standard PLA on their machines (at around 195-210° F), though others find success running it a bit hotter (around 220° F). Experiment with your printer and see what works best for you.
Carbon fiber and your printer nozzle
The carbon fibers in our filament are processed for an optimum size: short enough to print in PLA without clogging nozzles, but long enough to provide the added rigidity carbon fiber is famous for. At this length, the chopped carbon fiber makes this filament more abrasive than standard PLA. Prolonged use may result in more wear on your 3D printer, particularly lower-end nozzles.
Para uma correcta manutenção da sua impressora 3D, recomendamos sempre que trocar de material de filamento 3D, a efectuar uma purga com filamento especial de limpeza.
Desta forma garante que não ficam vestígios de material nas paredes do nozzle, evitando o acumular de crosta que é criado sempre que efectua trocas de material.
Com este produto evita problema como "clogs" e "jams" e fará com que o seu nozzle mantenha-se sempre limpo, durando muito mais tempo.

The original is still the best! World's First Carbon Fiber PLA filament was kickstarted by ProtoPlant nearly 5 years ago.
Others try, but can't match the quality and ease of printing experience afforded by this product.
Available at a cost low enough for everyday printing, try a mammoth 3kg spool for large format printing!
1.75mm diameter 3kg spools contain more than 1 km of filament! How cool is that?!?!
Protopasta Carbon Fiber PLA is based on our easy printing, high quality PLA. Made from the highest quality, dry ingredients and extruded with care in our Washington facility on our own purpose-built extrusion systems. CFPLA prints are demonstrably more rigid with easy processing (often using standard PLA settings) and support removal. Excellent layer adhesion and minimal warpage even without a heated bed make this a great everyday exotic for accurate parts. Layer lines disappear with the beautiful matte black finish. Also has a slight sheen due to the embedded carbon making it very photogenic!
**This filament is slightly more abrasive than standard PLA. Be prepared to replace your nozzle and do 1st layer adjustment after prolonged use or upgrade to a wear resistant nozzle for less maintenance.
In filament form, CFPLA is slightly more brittle than standard PLA, and requires extra care when handling.
Processing is comparable to standard PLA. No heated bed required. Process may be less consistent on smaller nozzles and/or bowden type machines,
We frequently print using direct-drive systems with 0.4mm nozzles and print as high as 240C, though suggest 0.6mm and 210-230C for the best experience.

Printed parts have a beautiful matte black finish with layer hiding sheen and texture. The carbon fibers give the surface a nice sheen and with layer heights under 0.1mm the layers blend into the texture and almost disappear.
Printed prototypes and end use parts using Protopasta Carbon Fiber HTPLA are characterized by exceptional stability of form and potential use up to 155 deg C (310 deg F) when heat treated. Carbon fiber's rigidity and hardness results in prints with improved form and function compared to standard HTPLA without carbon fibers. Excellent layer adhesion and minimal warpage (even without a heated bed) make this a great everyday filament for accurate parts. Increased rigidity from the carbon fiber means increased structural support but decreased flexibility, making our Carbon Fiber HTPLA an ideal material for frames, supports, shells, propellers, tools... really anything not expected (or desired) to bend. It is particularly loved by drone builders and and RC hobbyists.
Adaptable to most PLA-compatible printers. Heated bed recommended for process ease, quality, and reliability, but not required.

HTPLA Olive Wood ( Matte Fiber ) - Cor
1.75mm (+-0.05mm) - Espessura / Tolerância de diâmetro
Muito Fácil - Facilidade de Impressão
ProtoPasta é uma empresa situada nos Estados Unidos da América, de produção de filamentos para impressão 3D de alta qualidade.
Caracterizada pelos rolos feitos em cartão, esta marca é mundialmente famosa por ser especializada em materiais como PLA e ABS modificados com outros materiais, como o PLA Magnético; o PLA Condutivo; PLA de fibra de carbono; HTPLA de cobre, latão ou bronze; ou o ABS-PC.
An extension of our Matte Fiber line, these rich colors are enhanced with small black flecks to create a wood-like appearance. Ranging from a beautiful soft yellow to deep, dark walnut, we’ve covered the spectrum and are excited to share their beauty with all of you!
L to R: Walnut, Chestnut, Mahogany, Honey, Daffodil, Olive
These materials are based in Matte Fiber, but with fine gold pearl and black flecks, bringing warmth, radiance, and texture with just the right tones and sheen you’d expect for a premium wood-like finish.
All example parts were printed as follows for a balance of quality, speed, and reliability:
Machine(s): Prusa MK2/3, Creality Ender 3
Nozzle: 0.4 mm standard brass w/ sock
Nozzle Temp: 205C Bed Temp: 60C Bed Type: Glass, PEI, BuildTak, or other
Bed Prep: Clean w/ water or alcohol; Magigoo for additional adhesion + easy release when cool
Outlines: 3 Top/Bot layers: 6 Infill type: Lines Infill: 25%
Overlaps: 0 Min layer time: 0 Min Speed: 0 Fill gaps: no Expansion: 0
| Layer height | Ext width | Speed | Fan | |
| 1st Layer | 0.20mm | 0.50mm | 20mm/s | 0% |
| Rest of print | 0.15mm | 0.45mm | 30mm/s | 100% |
Matte Fiber can create beautiful, rigid parts that don’t even look 3D printed. Like wood, Matte Fiber does not bend much before breaking.
Please don’t use excessive force when loading and printing.
Matte Fiber also absorbs moisture like wood, and should be printed at the lowest possible temperature to minimize stringing, over-extrusion, and jamming.
We've created this page to bring you a premium PLA and HTPLA printing experience that rivals our premium material. Follow below to improve your 3D printing experience. In other words, here's your shortcut to awesomeness with pasta. If at the end of this document you have questions or need assistance, please contact us at [email protected].
Loose coils can be very tricky to manage. Going cowboy on your spool handling can quickly end up in a frustrating, tangled mess. Keep your loose coils wrangled with a spool holder like masterspool for a more trouble-free experience. Find out more about loose coil handling in Keith's blog post.
And for spooled filament, never let go of the loose end. When not in the printer extruder, tuck it away in the cardboard spool's corrugation! Also, avoid sharp bends and excessive force when loading filament into your printer.
At Proto-pasta, we make high quality filament. We aspire to make exceptional results easy, but a positive result is very much dependent on your hardware, set-up, adjustments, and process parameters. Matching hardware with process and material for a positive experience is not always straight-forward, but you can start by pairing the following settings with your printer for a good starting point, then tune or troubleshoot as required.
Volume flow rate together with temperature dictates how melted the material is. This is hardware & condition dependent based on hot end, nozzle & extruder type, material & manufacturer as well as layer fan type, position & settings. Extrusion width, layer thickness & speed changes affect volume flow which may change required/desired temperature.

A bright alternative to Carbon or Glass Fibers, Yellow Matte Fiber HTPLA uses plant fibers for texture and sheen.
Great for both artistic and technical parts with no special hardware required!
A great alternative to Carbon or Glass Fibers, Black Matte Fiber HTPLA uses plant fibers great looks in both artistic and technical parts with no special hardware required!
Printed parts have a low luster, textured surface which creates a highly desirable contrast between light and shadow. Texture, color, and sheen can be somewhat manipulated by printer settings as well as post-processing. Printed parts can also be smoothed or weathered with paint for alternate aesthetics. The plant-based fibers lend well to adhesion of paint and other aesthetic coatings.
Based on Proto-pasta HTPLA, this Matte Fiber version can be heat treated to retain more stiffness to higher temperatures. Dimensional stability is improved compared to HTPLA without fibers. The plant-based fibers improve adhesion of glues and coatings. Performance is similar to Carbon Fiber HTPLA but processing of Matte Fiber does NOT require a wear resistant nozzle.
No special hardware or nozzles are required for this plant-based composite. This material is not overly brittle, but is stiff and will break under excessive load. It prints like PLA on non-heated beds. Suggested print temperature is 190-230C, but we had good luck with a slow 1st layer at 230C on cold blue tape and 210C thereafter for a balance of strength and aesthetic.
This material does absorb moisture and dry filament is recommend for best results. When saturated with moisture, this material oozes more readily. Lowering flow and/or temperatures can minimize oozing and improve detail, though higher temperatures are recommended for best mechanical properties. With higher temperatures, ooze artifacts can be removed post build.
This material can be shaved/carved with a sharp blade for a smooth finish. Experiment with weathering or other painting techniques for a unique look. Also, expect improved bonding strength with glue compared to plastic without fiber.
