I heard it will eat a brass nozzle if it has some age to it. Eh, I could care less except that it does produce some cool looking objects that normal PLA cant replicate.
Comment on 3D Printing’s Biggest Scam Is Even Worse Than We Thought! (PLA-CF)
unpossum@sh.itjust.works 5 hours ago
Summary:
This video critically examines the popular perception of PLA carbon fiber (PLA CF) reinforced 3D printing filament, arguing that it is an even bigger scam than previously thought. By conducting bending tests, microstructural analysis, and CT imaging, the creator demonstrates that PLA CF does not improve mechanical strength, stiffness, or impact resistance compared to regular PLA. Instead, carbon fibers disrupt layer bonding, create voids, and lead to stress concentration, ultimately weakening printed parts.

Honestly whether it’s PLA or not it seems incredibly foolish to print with filament impregnated with carbon fibers. Like, “hey this lead tastes sweet” level of foolish.
