Prusament PP Carbon Fiber Black 650g (NFC)

What can you expect?

Prusament PP Carbon Fiber Black is our own in-house made Polypropylene filament filled with carbon fibers. The whole manufacturing process is closely monitored and tested - we guarantee ±0.04mm precision.

You can inspect the parameters of every spool we made at prusament.com.

Prusament is produced by Prusa Polymers, with manufacturing checks throughout production.

Premium-Grade Materials And Thorough Testing The whole manufacturing process is closely monitored and tested – string diameter, color consistency, and mechanical properties – to make sure that every spool is perfect.

Prusa specifies a filament diameter tolerance of ±0.04 mm. Check the product notes for blend-specific tolerances.

We believe the industry standard of 0.05 mm isn’t sufficient for perfect 3D printing. Instead, we guarantee ±0.04mm precision and highly-consistent colors in our filaments.

The spool's QR code gives access to its recorded production parameters.

About PP Carbon Fiber Black

Prusament PP Carbon Fiber is a lightweight material with exceptional chemical resistance. It resists various solvents, non-oxidized bases and acids, and oils. The high chemical resistance makes it perfectly suitable for printing laboratory equipment, various parts in the automotive industry, and more. Its lightweight properties also make it suitable for the aerospace industry, as well as for use in hobby RC aircraft.

We do not guarantee a perfect winding for this type of filament.

Printing Setup

• Nozzle - 270±10 °C
• Heatbed - 85±10 °C
• Recommended Steel Sheet - PP print sheet

Check Prusa's material table and print-surface preparation instructions before starting.

Basic Attributes

• High-temperature resistance (up to 120 °C) - A special print sheet (or separation layer) is required
• Very good chemical resistance - Requires hardened nozzle
• Lightweight material - Lower layer-to-layer adhesion compared to pure PP
• Visually appealing matt black surface
• Great dimensional stability – possible to print large models without an enclosure
• Uses recycled carbon fibers from the manufacturing process
• Drying not necessary

Beginners tips & tricks

A hardened steel nozzle is necessary. Carbon fibers are a highly abrasive material and may damage brass nozzles.

Prusament PP Carbon Fiber Black cannot be printed on the regular PEI print surfaces as the adhesion is too low. We recommend using a PP sheet instead, which is designed specifically for Prusament PP Carbon Fiber Black and will provide the best adhesion. Alternatively, you can print this material on a PP tape.

We recommend printing in a well-ventilated room because PP with carbon fibers may release a mild 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.

Further setup guidance is available in Prusa's material table and technical articles.

Notes

Some small white microcracks may appear on the filament surface. These are just aesthetic and will not affect the print process, mechanical properties, or the model’s color in any way.

Prusament PP Carbon Fiber Black is made in-house by Prusa Research.

1.75 mm filament is manufactured with a precision of ±0.04 mm.

Carbon fibers inside the filament are made by recycling waste from the manufacturing process or from carbon composites after the end of their lifespan.

To dry the filament, please follow the instructions in our article.
