Bambu Lab PPA-CF Filament on Spool

Bambu PPA-CF is a premium fiber-reinforced nylon that provides industrial-grade printing quality with precise 1:1 reproduction. Recognised for its exceptional mechanical properties and reliable performance in humid and high-temperature environments, Bambu PPA-CF is ideal for a wide range of engineering applications, from mechanical prototypes to automotive components. Its broad compatibility with various printers sets a new benchmark for professional engineering filaments, enabling you to harness its full potential to bring your designs to life!

Bambu PPA-CF is compatible with P1S, X1C, and X1E printers, requiring only an enclosure and a hardened steel nozzle. This filament is surprisingly easy to use, printing smoothly at nozzle temperatures between 280°C and 310°C.

Note: PPS-CF is NOT compatible with AMS or AMS Lite.

Key Features

• Strength comparable to metal
• Precision that meets industrial standards
• Consistent performance in humid conditions
• Outstanding reliability in high temperatures

Printing Tips

Drying Recommendations:

• Drying Temperature:
  • In a blast drying oven: 100°C to 140°C for 8 to 12 hours.
  • On an X1 printer's heatbed: 110°C to 120°C for 10 to 12 hours (less effective than a blast drying oven).

  Important Note: Higher temperatures within the drying range yield better results, but do not exceed 160°C to avoid damaging the spool.

  Additional Information: For more details, refer to the Printing Tips for Engineering Materials on the Bambu Lab WIKI.

Storage Tips:

• Storage Condition: To prevent the filament from absorbing moisture, use an airtight storage container with desiccant during printing.
• For Further Details: Please refer to the Printing Tips for Engineering Materials on the Bambu Lab WIKI.

Annealing Prints:

• If you need to anneal the prints, please consult the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and the Bambu Lab WIKI section on Work After Printing Finished.

Interface Layer:

• To prevent the filament from damaging the printing surface and to enhance model adhesion, apply a thin coat of glue stick for optimal results.
