Protopasta PRO Series Carbon Fiber Nylon Filament - 2.85mm (0.5kg)

Protopasta HTPLA combines the ease of PLA 3D printing with the ability to heat-treat your parts post-printing to increase their stiffness at higher temperatures. It can be heat treated in an oven at 100-120C (200-250F) to increase stiffness and reduce warping with the best results seen on flat and/or supported parts with 100% infill.

  • Prints easily like PLA
  • No Hardened Nozzle
  • Easy Heat Treat Process

Heat Treat for Great Performance

PLA and HTPLA are great for many applications, just exactly as they're printed, but once they're stored above 50C, they start to break down. Luckily, the HT is for Heat Treat! Or is it High Temp? Either way, it's a huge improvement to the part's thermal stability--up to three times standard PLA, or non-annealed HTPLA.

Simply place your printed part in your oven for a few minutes (larger parts will need longer times) at 100 - 120C (200 - 250F), and the material will crystallize and become much stiffer. Keep in mind this may warp some architectures of printed parts, so experimentation is required. Best results are with flat and/or supported parts with 100% infill.

HTPLA could be the solution to your printing needs.

No hardened nozzle required

Many composite materials require a hardened nozzle, but not this filament! This material prints perfectly with a standard brass nozzle without any additional wear compared to standard filaments. This material is perfect for those who want to expand their filament library without having to make hardware changes on their printer, as it offers expanded possibilities without any drawbacks or complications.

What's the difference between Pro Series Carbon Fiber Nylon and NylonX?

View 5 Responses

My beautiful 5# spool of 1.75mm Black Carbon Fiber Nylon Pro just arrived. When I first take it out of the bag with desicant pack, do I need to dry it out out before first use? After out of bag and starting to use, how often do I have to stick back in oven to re-desicate. Live near Buffalo, NY so relative humidity is not real low. At 12" dia x 4-1/8 height, what suggestions have you other than my kitchen oven?

How does PRO Series Carbon Fiber Nylon compare and contrast with NylonX? Is there a proper data sheet that can be viewed?

View 1 Response

I would like the data sheets so I can know the heat deflection temperature as well as other mechanical properties. Thanks!

Will this print well in a large, open frame printer (BigRep ONE)? Or is an enclosure recommended for this type of material?

Why don't you folks publish end use engineering specs for this material and all your other materials? It would sure make life easy for someone that is in the middle of designing a part to fit specific need and a major help in making choices between different materials. On the other hand , if your customers are only interested in making decorative parts then I guess color may be their only concern.

Is this PA-6 or PA-12 nylon? The data sheet doesn't say. It would also be nice to know the amount of carbon fiber fill.

Add Response

Is the Cooling fan really meant to be ON ?? as the data sheet states, or is that a misprint? as all the other types of nylon I print, it says the fan should be off

Add Response

how much glass fill is in this nylon?
