Since I started 3D printing, I’ve tried out a bunch of different filaments in my projects, from basic PLA to nylon blends. But carbon fiber filament recently caught my attention. I’m excited about its ...

While PLA definitely fills the 3D printing needs for many projects, other filament materials are better for more serious ...

The high amount of carbon fibers makes this material extremely ... which itself is already a tough material and lies about half way between PLA and ABS in terms of temperature resistance.

[Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to make 3D prints using carbon fiber and was surprised that it was fairly inexpensive and worked well, although he mentions that the process is a bit intense. You can ...

PLA offers biodegradability and a reduced carbon footprint but suffers ... HF and the polymer matrix, leading to fiber pull-out, holes, and grooves. This poor interfacial bonding contributed to lower ...
