Carbon Fiber powder or strands?

I took a 1 inch long piece of PRILINE carbon fiber PC filament and torched away the plastic to reveal the carbon fiber. Under magnification, the carbon fiber hairs could easily be seen, contained in burnt plastic remnants and sitting in the ashes. I estimated about %5-10 carbon fiber volume to plastic. The fibers were short, maybe .010" long; aka the dangerous kind to inhale and irritating to the skin. The risk comes typically when the material is sanded, saw cut, etc. I don't know what carbon fiber powder is, but the carbon does not appear to have been added as long linear fibers or tows, but as a short milled fiber resulting in isotropic reinforcement. I've printed several parts using this filament, and they print extremely well, and have good strength and stiffness, and a sexy matte black finish.

Is Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate printable on an ender 3 pro?

I've had great results on my Ender 3. 250c nozzle, 100c bed and lower the fan speed a bit for better layer adhesion.

What is the density of this filament?

Hi, the density of our Carbon fiber PC is about 1.22-1.25g/cm³. Thank you.

Does anyone know what this is actually made of? it has the letters "pc" in the title, but it never says "polycarbonate" and extrudes at low temps...

It's probably a weak blend of PC, true PC melts at closer to 320c, all 3d PC filaments are blended but this one is weaker than most so beware. it prints at 205-220c according to the sticker on the roll which does not match the product description.
