Polymaker PolyLite™ PLA-CF — is an exceptional 3D printing filament, ideal for creating visually perfect prototypes that can impress at trade shows, presentations or project demonstrations. Reinforced with carbon fiber, it combines the ease of printing provided by conventional PLA with a unique matte finish that adds a textured aesthetic to products.
Key benefits:
-
Ease of printing: PolyLite™ PLA-CF is easily printed even on basic 3D printers. Thanks to the stability of the print and the low level of deformation, you will easily get products with excellent geometry and detailing. Ease of use allows you to concentrate on creativity, and not on solving technical issues.
-
Unsurpassed appearance: the matte finish hides the print layers, providing a smooth and refined surface that is difficult to achieve with other materials. This material is designed to evoke emotions.
-
Not for engineering parts: This is not a typical engineering filament. PolyLite™ PLA-CF — it is a choice for those who want to emphasize the aesthetics and visual quality of products, rather than technical characteristics.
Recommendations for printing:
-
Nozzle temperature: 210-230˚C
-
Printer platform temperature: 30-70˚C
-
Printer camera temperature: room temperature
-
Print speed: 25-60 mm/s
-
Cooling fan: On
-
Retraction distance for direct drive (Direct Drive): 3 mm
-
Retraction speed for direct drive (Direct Drive): 40 mm/s
-
Material drying mode: 55˚C for 6 hours (only if the material has absorbed moisture)
-
Storage: preferably in a dry environment, for example in a vacuum bag.
-
Important 1: For printing PolyLite™ For PLA-CF, it is recommended to use a hardened steel or copper nozzle with a silicon carbide/tungsten carbide insert.
-
Important 2: it is recommended to use an adhesive for reliable adhesion of the first layer, for example Magigoo Original or 3DLAC.
Application of Polymaker PolyLite™ PLA-CF:
