Carbon Fiber Extreme Black PCTG PRO: finish and uses
Deep, opaque black with a slightly textured finish and milled carbon fiber reinforcement, rather than carbon dust or powder. Consider it for functional parts, fixtures and models where stiffness and a textured black appearance matter. Made in Indiana, USA.
Carbon fiber reinforcement changes material behavior; greater stiffness is not a guarantee of greater toughness in every direction or application. Part geometry, layer orientation and print settings remain important.
Indicative color reference: #404141, attributed to Filamentcolors.xyz and not independently verified. Screens and print settings affect perceived color; a flat hex value cannot capture the textured finish.
Printing Carbon Fiber Extreme Black PCTG PRO
Use a wear-resistant nozzle suitable for abrasive carbon-fiber-filled filament. Check your printer and feed-system manufacturer’s guidance for filled materials rather than treating the existing AMS-compatible title as a guarantee for every machine or setup.
Published nozzle temperature: 255–272°C. Heated bed: approximately 80°C, with a 70–90°C starting range. Adjust for your printer, build surface and part geometry.
An existing Atomic PETG PRO profile can be a starting point, but test rather than assuming every setting transfers unchanged. Tune temperature, cooling, flow and retraction for this filled material.
Functional performance
Evaluate the finished part against its intended loads and operating conditions. Chemical, oil and grease compatibility depends on the substance, concentration, exposure time and temperature; test a representative part for your application.
Quality and specifications
Published diameter and roundness tolerances: ±0.02 mm or better. Refer to the available variant above for diameter and spool details.
Spool returns

Carbon Fiber Extreme Black PCTG PRO FAQ
Does it contain milled carbon fiber?
Yes. The product is described as containing milled carbon fiber, not carbon dust or powder.
What does the finish look like?
It is deep opaque black with a slightly textured surface. Compare a sample print to judge the finish for your project.
Should I use a wear-resistant nozzle?
Yes. Use a nozzle designed for abrasive carbon-fiber-filled filament and follow your hardware manufacturer’s guidance.
Can I copy my existing PETG PRO settings?
Use them only as a starting point and tune for this filled material. Published guidance is 255–272°C nozzle and 80°C ±10°C bed.
Can I try a sample first?
Yes. Try a Carbon Fiber Black PCTG sample coil to check the finish and printer settings.
