SPECTRUM The Filament PLA CF viola 1,75mm 1kg (TF-24097)

For makers printing functional parts that need extra stiffness and a matte, textured finish, SPECTRUM The Filament PLA CF in Violet is a carbon-fiber-reinforced PLA composite. The 15% carbon fiber content reduces warping and adds rigidity, making it a dependable choice for drone frames, brackets, and mechanical prototypes. The violet color has a subtle, non-glossy appearance that hides layer lines well.

Why choose it

The carbon fiber reinforcement increases stiffness and strength compared to standard PLA, while the low shrinkage and warping make it easier to print large or thin parts. A hardened nozzle is required due to the abrasive carbon fibers, but the result is a lightweight, rigid component with a professional matte surface.

Ideal use cases

• Functional prototypes requiring higher stiffness
• Drone frames and RC parts
• Mechanical brackets and mounts
• Tools and jigs that need dimensional stability
• Decorative objects with a matte, textured finish

Good to know

Store the spool in a dry environment; the vacuum-sealed packaging with desiccant helps maintain filament quality. PLA CF is not as flexible as standard PLA, so avoid applications that require impact resistance or bending.
