A closer look

Prusament PA11 Carbon Fiber Black 800g (NFC) · Technical features from Prusa Research.

Extreme high-temperature resistance

Probably the biggest advantage of PA11 Carbon Fiber is its high-temperature resistance, which can reach up to 190 °C, depending on the load. This makes it perfectly suitable for printing functional components, such as machine parts (motors, etc.).

Excellent chemical resistance to a range of solvents

PA11 has good resistance to bases (e.g. NaOH), alcohols (Methanol, Ethanol), toluene, acetone, motor oil, petrol, diesel, etc. This makes it usable in laboratories and, again, in automotive and other demanding industry fields.

Good friction and abrasion resistance

Prusament PA11 Carbon Fiber offers low friction and good abrasion resistance. Combined with decent mechanical properties (impact and tensile strength), it's perfectly suitable for printing gears and other moving parts.

Basic Attributes

  • Strengths

    • Excellent temperature resistance (up to 190 °C)
    • Great chemical resistance
    • High impact and wear resistance (very strong and rigid material)
    • Low friction coeficient
    • Noticeably less hygroscopic compared to other polyamides
    • Visually appealing matt black surface
    • Great dimensional stability – possible to print large models without an enclosure
    • Uses recycled carbon fibers from the manufacturing process

  • Worth knowing

    • A special print sheet (or separation layer) is required
    • Requires hardened nozzle
    • Lower layer-to-layer adhesion compared to pure PA11
    • Slightly hygroscopic (absorbs moisture)
    • Emits odors during printing (enclosure with active filtration recommended)

Frequently asked questionsAnswers to common questions about this product.
Use a hardened nozzle when printing PA11 Carbon Fiber

It is necessary to use a hardened nozzle. Carbon fibers are a highly abrasive material and may damage brass nozzles.

Print on the Special PA Nylon Print Sheet

Prusament PA11 Carbon Fiber, in particular, can easily peel and warp when printed on conventional sheets, despite being filled with carbon fiber. That’s why we have developed a new surface layer of a special material that provides significantly better adhesion for polyamide printing materials. The only downside is that this print sheet gets damaged when cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Instead, optimal adhesion is achieved when the sheet's surface is washed with water.

PA11, like other polyamides, is a hygroscopic material and requires drying

If the absorbed humidity reaches high levels, the print quality will deteriorate. Deterioration occurs between a few days and a month. If you are not sure how long it has been since you opened the sealed bag or if you haven’t been printing for a long time, we recommend drying the filament at 90 °C for 6 hours before printing. Absorbing moisture may sometimes be noticeable when supports are removed. If the filament is dry, support removal should be easy.

Print in a well-ventilated area or use an enclosure with active filtration

We recommend printing in a well-ventilated room because PA11 with carbon fibers may release a noticeable odor into the air and produce ultra-fine particles. Printing on an enclosed 3D printer helps contain the odors and particles, plus the increased temperature may improve layer-to-layer adhesion.
