Hardware and material requirements

Stock nozzleSuitable

Enclosure setupSuitable
Hardened nozzleRequired
Filament dryingNot required

Main limitation

PLA-CF contains abrasive carbon fibers that can rapidly wear the Original Prusa MINI+ stock brass nozzle. Carbon-filled filaments also have a higher risk of nozzle clogging.

Recommendation

Use an abrasion-resistant hardened E3D V6-compatible nozzle before printing PLA-CF on the Prusa MINI+. The printer should not be treated as PLA-CF ready with the stock brass nozzle. Follow the filament manufacturers temperature profile and make sure the first layer and nozzle are properly prepared.
