More about our release of Carbon Fiber HTPLA
Prop 65 Warning! May cause cancer or reproductive harm.
However, in an effort put this statement in perspective, consider our blog on this subject to better-understand actual risks.
RoHS compliant - does not contain Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent Chromium: (Cr VI), Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE), Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), or Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
Regarding food contact - though base resin may be safe for food contact, our process & additional ingredients may not be. Thus our materials are not certified for food contact even if the risk is low. Please consider additional coatings, treatments & testing before pursuing extended food contact or certification.
Regarding skin contact - Not a known skin irritant, however, avoid recommending prolonged skin exposure without further testing.
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.
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.

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.

We visited Joel and ended up with a helpful video on the subject:
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.

Quer necessite de impressões de alta resolução com bicos pequenos ou impressões de alto fluxo com bicos grandes, a relação de engrenagens optimizada combinada com as nossas engrenagens líderes na indústria fornece uma potência de empuxo sem paralelo e retracções rápidas por relâmpagos num pacote leve e compacto.
Bondtech Dual-Drive
A nossa tecnologia exclusiva Dual-Drive proporciona um fluxo ininterrupto de material sem medo de moer ou escorregar, mesmo nas condições mais exigentes. Os utilizadores da Bondtech em todo o mundo irão atestar que mesmo em impressões com milhares de retracções as nossas extrusoras têm um desempenho impecável, com uma precisão inigualável, e zero danos ou degradação do filamento.
Capacidade multi-material
A nossa extrusora BMG alimenta todo o material com alta fiabilidade, desde os nylons escorregadios e filamentos de TPU/TPE macios até aos materiais de alta resistência altamente rígidos e por vezes frágeis, cheios de carbono. A extrusora foi concebida para filamentos de 1,75 mm, mas foi testada para assegurar o desempenho do filamento de 1,5 mm até 2,0 mm, permitindo uma elevada fiabilidade independentemente da tolerância do filamento utilizado. O caminho do filamento é totalmente guiado através do corpo da extrusora e a carcaça mantém tolerâncias apertadas às engrenagens de acionamento, reduzindo as chances de falha de alimentação do filamento quando o hotend experimenta aumento da contrapressão ou quando são usados filamentos altamente flexíveis.
Tensão ajustável
O tensor do parafuso manual permite que o utilizador afine a pressão exercida pelas engrenagens de accionamento no filamento. Isto dá-lhe o poder de ajustar de acordo com as suas preferências e de optimizar para o tipo de material que está a utilizar.
Libertação rápida
Para poder fazer mudanças materiais num instante, basta activar a alavanca de Soltar Rápido para libertar a tensão e puxar o material a ser mudado para fora da extrusora, mantê-la activada e inserir o novo material.
Desenho multi-aplicação
Esta extrusora pode ser usada num Bowden ou em configurações directas e dá-lhe a flexibilidade para escolher o que funciona melhor para a sua aplicação. Além disso, possui um método de retenção de hotend integrado compatível com os hotends E3D-V6 ou outros usando o padrão GrooveMount. A montagem do seu hotend é simples, segura, e sem oscilações através de apenas dois parafusos.
Opções de montagem flexíveis
Concebemos um suporte de montagem padrão, tanto em CNC como como uma peça para impressão 3D que pode descarregar gratuitamente do nosso stl-archive. A nossa montagem padrão é CNC-machined em alumínio de 3 mm para uma estabilidade máxima. Por favor veja abaixo as montagens disponíveis.
A extrusora cabe em qualquer motor passo Nema17 com um eixo padrão de 5 mm. Para motores passo-a-passo adequados, por favor seleccione um dos motores abaixo ou use o seu próprio motor.
Esta extrusora é vendida sem motor.
Peso sem motor: 75g
E-step valor: 415
Novas Características de Design
O Motor Gear é agora feito de Latão
O material resistente à corrosão irá parar a muito baixa frequência de problemas de oxidação que aconteceram com as engrenagens de aço.
A engrenagem POM ligada ao Eixo Principal é agora preta
Esta é uma actualização estética pura para mascarar a sujidade que se mostra demasiado em branco.
O Push-Fit está agora enfiado
Pode ser removido e/ou substituído para facilitar a resolução de obstruções sem arruinar a habitação da BMG.
Cansado dos sistemas de tubos bowden e suas desvantagens tais como manutenção complicada, troca de filamento demorada, incompatibilidade de impressão com filamentos flexíveis entre outros?
