    Honestly whether it’s PLA or not it seems incredibly foolish to print with filament impregnated with carbon fibers. Like, “hey this lead tastes sweet” level of foolish.

      Fiber impregnated filament is actually really great if the material is prone to warping. It stabilizes the filament and reduces warping cause by shrinkage as the filament cools.

      That’s really the only thing it’s good for. So unless you’re printing PLA crazy fast, it’s useless.
