Carbon Fiber Ultra Black ABS: material and uses
Virgin ABS resin, milled carbon fiber and ultra black pigment combine for a deep matte black appearance with a textured surface. Consider it for functional models, jigs, fixtures and technical parts where stiffness and a matte finish suit the design. Made in Indiana, USA.
Carbon fiber reinforcement changes material behavior; greater rigidity is not a guarantee of greater toughness in every direction. Part geometry, layer orientation and printing conditions affect the finished part.
Indicative color reference: #3C383A, attributed to Filamentcolors.xyz. Screens, lighting and print settings affect perceived color; a flat hex value cannot capture the matte texture.
Printing Carbon Fiber Ultra Black ABS
Published nozzle temperature: 235–255°C. Heated bed: 115°C ±10°C. Tune 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. Check your printer and feeding-system manufacturer’s guidance for carbon-fiber-filled ABS rather than assuming compatibility with every multi-material setup.
Use an enclosure to help maintain a warm, draft-free printing environment, along with appropriate ventilation. An enclosure does not replace ventilation.
Quality and specifications
Manufactured with laser-based diameter monitoring. Published filament diameter: 1.75 mm, with ±0.02 mm tolerance. Maintain and tune your printer; monitoring is not a guarantee against failed prints.

Carbon Fiber Ultra Black ABS FAQ
What is the finish like?
It is deep matte black with a textured surface. Compare a sample print to see how it looks on your geometry.
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. Adjust for your printer and build surface.
Is there an option for outdoor projects?
The Carbon Fiber Black ASA link above offers a separate material option when UV and weather resistance are priorities. Evaluate the finished part for its intended use.
Can I try a sample first?
