Bambu Lab PLA-CF Filament on Spool
Description
Bambu PLA-CF is carbon fiber reinforced PLA with improved stiffness and strength. PLA-CF is easy to print and beginner-friendly like regular PLA. It is AMS compatible with low clogging risk at high-speed printing. The prints are in matte finish with almost invisible layer lines, which make it suitable for printing general engineering parts or models requiring a better appearance, like bike frames, brackets and toys. Additionally, Bambu PLA-CF features low shrinkage and warping resistance to achieve a perfect matching accuracy between prints parts.
Printing Tips
- Recommended Build Plate: Cool Plate, High Temperature Plate, or Textured PEI Plate
- Recommended Hotend: Hardened Steel Nozzle (0.4 / 0.6 / 0.8 mm)
- Drying conditions: 55℃ for 8 hrs. Store in a dry environment after use. Dry before use if the material absorbs moisture. For more details please refer to: Filament drying instructions on Bambu Lab Wiki.
- Feel free to reuse your Bambu Reusable Spool. Bambu Lab has designed the entire filament feeding system around a reusable spool concept, reducing plastic waste in filament consumption by at least 20%.
- All printing parameters are embedded in RFID, accessible through Bambu Lab AMS (Automatic Material System). Load and print! No more tedious setup steps.

Compatibility
Bambu PLA-CF could be paired with any PLA series filament to make your prints more colorful and achieve various texture requirements.
Stablized printing dimension
Bambu PLA-CF features low shrinkage and warping resistance to achieve a perfect matching accuracy between prints parts.
Minimal effort in support removal
Bambu PLA-CF is designed to support itself. It can be removed more easily compared to regular PLA, and still maintains a smooth support surface.
Not prone to clogging in high-speed printing
Bambu PLA-CF is just as easy to print as regular PLA. It can be printed smoothly and consistently at high speed without clogging.
Improved mechanical properties
Bambu PLA-CF exceeds the mechanical properties of PLA Matte in XY Bending Strength, Z Bending Strength, XY Bending Modulus, Z Bending Modulus, XY Impact Strength, and Z Impact Strength by between 20% and 115%, making it more suitable for printing models with higher strength requirements.
