Prusament PA11 Carbon Fiber Black is a high-performance 3D printing filament based on Polyamide 11, reinforced with chopped carbon fibers. This combination combines the exceptional toughness and chemical resistance of nylon with the stiffness and dimensional stability of carbon. The filament is characterized by very low moisture absorption compared to standard nylons (such as PA6 or PA12), resulting in highly stable dimensions even in varying environmental conditions. It is ideal for functional prototypes, tools, and stressed mechanical parts in the automotive and engineering sectors. Due to the carbon fibers, the filament has a matte, textured surface and an attractive finish. A downside is that CF-reinforced materials are abrasive, therefore a hardened nozzle is mandatory. Additionally, this material is not suitable for food contact. For best results, it is recommended to dry the filament before printing and to use an enclosed chamber to minimize warping on larger parts.
Material TypeThe base polymer type determines printability, strength, flexibility, and heat resistance

Print TemperatureRecommended nozzle temperature range. Stay within range for best layer adhesion and surface quality
260°C - 280°C
Bed TemperatureHeated bed temperature to prevent warping. Some materials like PLA can print without a heated bed
80°C - 100°C
Diameter1.75mm is standard, 2.85mm for some printers
1.75 mm
Spool WeightNet weight of filament on the spool. Standard spools are 1kg (1000g)

DensityMaterial density affects part weight. Higher density = heavier prints for the same volume
1.1 g/cm³
ReinforcementFiber reinforcement (Carbon/Glass/Kevlar) adds strength and stiffness but increases nozzle wear — use a hardened steel nozzle
