ReFill Carbon PLA

Spectrum ReFill filaments have been designed with your convenience in mind, but also with a strong focus on environmental care. Spectrum ReFill filaments are wound onto an eco-friendly cardboard core that is fully compatible with BambuLab reusable spools, eliminating the need for printing additional adapters. Additionally, ReFill filaments are environmentally friendly, reducing plastic waste and supporting sustainable development. If you don’t have a BambuLab reusable spool, you can easily download and print a simple spool model available on the Spectrum website. This allows you to enjoy Spectrum ReFill filament without worrying about compatibility with your printer, while also caring for the environment.

Increased hardness and stiffness

Spectrum Carbon PLA filament is a modified PLA filament, enriched with 10% carbon fibers, which significantly increases its stiffness, hardness and tensile strength while maintaining minimal shrinkage and excellent adhesion to working platforms, characteristic of standard PLA. The addition of carbon fibers allows for matte surfaces of printed components, which greatly enhances their aesthetics.

Tip: Due to the essential content of chopped carbon fire, it is recommended to use nozzles with diameters exceeding the standard value of 0.4mm. The presence of carbon fibre may also cause wear of standard nozzles; thus, it is recommended to use hardened steel or ruby nozzles for prolonged application of Spectrum Carbon PLA.

Material characteristics

  • improved hardness and rigidity as compared to the pure PLA
  • higher plasticisation temperature
  • improved abrasion resistance
  • much higher compression resistance
  • good mechanical properties
  • high aesthetic, matte surface quality
  • no shrinkage after cooling

Applications

  • items which need to be very rigid and hard while maintaining dimensional accuracy
  • manufacturing of spacer components subject to static compressive loads
  • concept and demo prototyping of designed finished and semi-finished products
  • ornamental parts (aesthetic properties)
  • external structural components which emphasise the product
  • prototyping
