ZIRO Carbon Fiber PLA Filament 1.75mm, CF PLA 3D Printer Filament, Reinforced Material 0.8KG Spool, 15% Carbon Fiber Contained, Fits for Almost All FDM 3D Printers, 1.76lbs, Black

I have spent a lot of time and money searching for a good CF PLA filament. I just wish I could have started out with this product, as my search could have begun and ended with the first order. This filament prints very clean and smooth, no zits or blobs, no stringing, even with complicated parts. Consistency of part quality is dead even across all 4 of my printers. The resulting parts are very strong, and with 100% infill, astoundingly strong for PLA. Dimensional stability is very good. The adhesion to my glass beds is excellent, but once cool, parts are very easy to remove from the build surface. I like the clear spools, you can actually accurately gauge how much filament you have at a glance. I especially appreciate the zip-lock bags and dessicant packets provided for storage of partially used spools, as I live in a very humid climate. This filament costs a little more than other brands, but IMHO it is worth every penny. I use it at 220 degrees, 60 degree bed, .4mm hardened steel nozzle, .15 mm layers. So far I have run 3 spools through my machines without a single clog, so I am puzzled at some of the other reviewers comments re. clogging. Sometimes I even go down to .08mm layers for small detailed parts, with no problems whatsoever. If it were possible to give this product 7 stars I would do so.2-17-19 Update; I have now ordered/used a total of 12 spools of this excellent quality material. I use it for everything I print now, because nothing else I have found provides the strength and smooth finish it provides. The CF content adds a subtle sparkle to the printed parts and the yield strength far surpasses any other PLA material I have audited. I simply cannot over-emphasize what a great value this filament represents. I recently ordered a spool of bronze color filament from ZIRO and will be posting a review of it as soon as I try it out.

I have no complaints. It prints great, even at 200 mm/s. Its super tough and durable too. Jands down my favourite filament for anything that needs to be strong.

The smoothness, color, adhesion, everything is perfection. The impregnated CF hides layer lines incredibly well even on .28mm height. I honestly can't imagine printing any functional part with regular PLA again. For engineering/prototyping purposes this is just unbeatable.

**Soda can added for scale**I have previously used Ziro silk gold & silk silver filament (they are GORGEOUS and print great). My previous bust prints I'd been using Hatchbox granite PLA, which is awesome, but about $30/roll normally. So I was looking to find a less expensive, but still quality alternative. This is one of two "stone" options I am trying. I printed a filament swatch as soon as I opened the package...it printed well but it did have some minor issues with adhesion to the PEI plate I use. A small piece of blue tape solved the issue. After a successful swatch on the 2nd attempt at it, I immediately set out on this 300mm tall Princess Leia bust from Return of the Jedi. 18 hours later and the print looked great. So why the 4 stars instead of 5?Reason 1 is the adhesion issues on the small print. The bust I ended up using a raft (as I do on most larger prints just for a safety net) and I had no issues with that (as expected because rafts are super easy to adhere to the bed, hence the point).Reason 2 is that there is a bit of minor stringing that I haven't seen with other filaments. Nothing major, but I'm used to getting NO stringing. So even a little was noticeable to me. So if you have stringing issues already, you MAY have a bit more with this filament. Obviously, it's just a warning as you can't know until you try, but just something to be mindful of.That's it. I really wish we could give 1/2 stars, as if we could, I would 100% give this a 4.5 star based on my experiences to this point. I know that specialty filaments tend to be a bit "moodier" to print compared to standard PLA. Comparing it to the Hatchbox, this holds up EXTREMELY well, with minor complaints and at 2/3 the cost. If something with the 3rd brand (Eryone) of "stone" filament changes my mind on this rating, I'll update. But I am REALLY happy with this overall.The color (straw in the stone PLA variant) is really gorgeous and adds to the marble-ish look. I'd definitely recommend giving this filament a try as it both prints and adheres to the base well above average. The key metric for good filament is "would I buy this again?" and I have to say without question I would do so. If I had a piece to be displayed for others regularly, I'd probably go Hatchbox still, but for hobbyists looking for stuff to make for display at home...this is more than you would probably ever need in terms of quality. Ziro impressed me greatly with their silk gold & silk silver...and they've done so again with their stone PLA.Setup - FLSUN Super Racer with MicroSwiss Dual Gear Bowden Extruder, MicroSwiss CM2 0.6 Nozzle, Capricorn Bowden Tube, FYSETC PEI build plate.Settings - 180c print temp, 60c bed (these settings worked great for ME and are my normal settings for PLA, your printer, even a FLSUN SR, will likely use different settings, just posting these to give more info to those looking at this filament).

Other blogs reviewed this filament and marked it as the best stone effect filament out there - and I have to agree! This looks fantastic and prints very well. I don’t know if Ziro normally does this, but my filament came with a sample multi-color filament and a hothead filament cleaner. The cleaner worked wonderfully in flushing out some stuck burnt filament so that this stone filament could print smoothly.A more accurate depiction of the speckled print would be diorite or white granite. Marble has long striations that occur during the metamorphic process that I doubt 3D printing filaments can ever truly replicate.

This PLA filament truly exceeds expectations. It's incredibly forgiving, delivering stunning results across a range of temperature settings, nozzle sizes, and slicer configurations. The prints it produces are simply breathtaking, often resembling marble in their quality and beauty.This product is top-notch—Ziro goes the extra mile by including an additional bag and samples from their other product lines. I've since bought more PLA filaments from them, and I remain equally impressed.

Jolie rendu d'impression, est bien plus solide que du PLA classique 👍🏻

Very nice texture, especially if you work even with smaller layer heights.

uno dei migliori filamenti per stampabilità e resa visiva dell'oggetto

I was surprised when I saw the price and thought that it couldn’t be true but it actually is it works as intended and sticks really well but you might have a different experience. And you even get cleaning filament for 15€. For me it’s mind blowing .

I think I'm in love with this stuff - I needed something tougher than 'reguiar' PLA for an ongoing project (dual bottle-cage mounts for my mountain bikes) and this fits the bill beautifully. After a couple of false starts with a clogged nozzle, I've found that it prints really well on my AnyCubic i3 with a hot-end temperature of 220C and a bed temperature of 70C (could probably get away with lower, but it works for me). The resulting prints are not only _very_ tough compared to regular PLA, but they look really attractive too with the plastic cooling down to a rather cool-looking titanium grey. Even at 0.2mm resolution the layers aren't noticeable unless you really look.Even better, the bed adhesion is absolutely fantastic - for the first time in a while I'm able to print things without using a raft (see below ...) - I printed a 160x50x3mm flat plate with just a 10mm brim and there was no warping at all. The end result, with 80% infill, was considerably more rigid than a similar object printed with 'regular' PLA.There are a couple of gotchas, though:- Good as it is, this stuff will make mincemeat of brass nozzles over time since the carbon fibres make it quite abrasive. You don't notice it on a completed print but you will notice it when you print several large objects and your nozzle starts clogging. Hardened nozzles are a must, although you may need to increase your hot-end temperature accordingly. There's nothing to stop you using brass nozzles, just be prepared to change them more often.- If you print something with a raft, be prepared to have fun separating it from the main print. For most practical purposes, you'll probably get away with just using a skirt or brim, even for large objects.- You'll need to run your hot-end at a higher temperature because of the carbon fibre - whilst I can print 'normal' PLA at 190-200C, the carbon-fibre PLA only gave me consistent results at 220C - anything less just wasn't happening. I now keep a 'carbon fibre' preset in Cura which gives me consistently good results. I'm using the standard AnyCubic hot-end and didn't need to make any mods whatsoever.I've had good results with Ziro filament in the past, but this stuff really is top notch.
