Topic: PLA Carbon Fiber Filament and others

Hello fellow printers i was wondering if you guys have noticed the new type of PLA filament advertised on the official website infused with carbon fiber, wood etc, if so i was curious if someone used it before or a different brand (generic) how those work if they print good, any specific application, temperature, does it need special nozzle as i heard? feel free to enlight us with your knowledge.

You will need a stainless steel nozzle. The common brass nozzle will be eaten alive by the carbon fiber. It is extremely abrasive.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
