No heated chamber is required, making it compatible with most open-frame FDM 3D printers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the carbon fiber in CarbonX PLA+CF recycled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. CarbonX PLA+CF uses \u003cstrong\u003e100% recycled carbon fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it a more sustainable choice compared to filaments using virgin carbon fiber — without compromising on mechanical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs CarbonX PLA+CF made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every spool is manufactured in our 68,000 ft² facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan, using precision extrusion and quality-controlled compounding processes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West3D 3D Printing Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":52735675236646,"sku":"PLA03CF100750BK00","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/1986\/2822\/files\/carbonx-placf-3d-printer-filament-by-3dxtech-made-in-usa-750g-west3d-3d-printing-supplies-3dxtech-297049.webp?v=1773259455"}],"url":"https:\/\/supplies3d.shop\/collections\/carbon-fiber-filament.oembed","provider":"SUPPLIES3D","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
