3.5 kg Carbon Fiber Ultra Black ABS: material and uses
Virgin ABS resin, milled carbon fiber and ultra black pigment combine for a deep matte black color and textured surface in a larger spool. Consider it for technical models, jigs and fixtures where stiffness and an ABS base suit the design. Made in Indiana, USA.
Added rigidity does not guarantee greater impact toughness or dimensional accuracy in every application. Evaluate part geometry, layer orientation, loads and printing conditions, especially for larger parts.
Printing 3.5 kg Carbon Fiber Ultra Black ABS
Published nozzle temperature: 235–255°C. Heated bed: 115°C ±10°C. Tune temperature, flow, cooling and retraction for your printer, build surface and part geometry.
This filament is abrasive. Brass and aluminum nozzles wear over time; a hardened steel or other suitable wear-resistant nozzle is strongly recommended.
Use an enclosure to help maintain a warm, draft-free printing environment, along with appropriate ventilation. An enclosure does not replace ventilation.
Larger-spool handling
Check that your holder or rack accommodates the 3.5 kg spool and allows it to rotate freely. Arrange a smooth feeding path without unnecessary drag. Do not assume the larger roll fits an enclosed feeding system.
Quality and specifications
Published filament diameter: 1.75 mm, with ±0.02 mm tolerance. This listing is the 3.5 kg spool option.
Other spool and material options
1 kg Carbon Fiber Ultra Black ABS
3.5 kg Carbon Fiber Black ASA
Consider the separate ASA option for projects prioritizing UV and weather resistance. Evaluate the intended exposure and loads, and follow its own printing guidance.
Spool returns
The spool-return program offers a $2 credit for an empty spool. Contact Atomic Filament for return instructions and applicable terms.
3.5 kg Carbon Fiber Ultra Black ABS FAQ
What does the finish look like?
It is deep matte black with a textured surface, using virgin ABS resin, milled carbon fiber and ultra black pigment.
Should I use a hardened nozzle?
Yes. The filament is abrasive, and a hardened steel or other suitable wear-resistant nozzle is strongly recommended.
What temperatures are listed?
Published starting guidance is 235–255°C nozzle and 115°C ±10°C heated bed. Tune for your printer and build surface.
What holder does the larger roll need?
Use a holder or rack that fits and securely supports the 3.5 kg spool while letting it rotate freely along a smooth feeding path.
Can I try a sample first?
