Frequently Asked Questions
How many meters of PLA-CF (Carbon Fiber) filament are in a 1kg spool?
A standard 1,000g (1 kg) spool of 1.75mm PLA-CF (Carbon Fiber) filament (density 1.26 g/cm³) contains approximately 329.96 meters (~1083 feet). For 2.85mm diameter, a 1 kg spool yields approximately 124.41 meters.
What is the density of PLA-CF (Carbon Fiber) 3D printer filament?
PLA-CF (Carbon Fiber) has an average density of 1.26 g/cm³. Heavier composite filaments yield fewer meters per kilogram than lightweight unfilled polymers.
How do I calculate remaining PLA-CF (Carbon Fiber) on a used spool?
Weigh your spool on a digital scale in grams, subtract the tare weight of the empty spool (typically 130g–240g depending on brand), and enter the net filament weight into the MakersMetric calculator above to find the exact remaining meters.
What print temperatures are recommended for PLA-CF (Carbon Fiber)?
Recommended nozzle extrusion temperature is 210-230 °C, with a recommended print bed temperature of 55-65 °C.
