Its enhanced PLA+ formulation is intended to offer higher strength than regular PLA, while controlled material dimensions help support consistent extrusion.
NFIL3D draws on more than 30 years of experience in polymer raw materials, additives and material processing to support its filament development and manufacturing approach.
Key Features of Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black
1. High-Speed Printing Support from 50mm/s to 750mm/s
A major advertised feature of Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black is its printing-speed support range of 50mm/s to 750mm/s.
This broad range offers flexibility for everyday FDM printing as well as faster printing workflows on appropriately configured machines.
Higher printing speeds can be useful for rapid prototyping, model iterations and repeated printing jobs where reduced production time is important.
However, the manufacturer’s advertised upper speed of 750mm/s is not a guarantee that every printer can achieve reliable results at that speed.
Actual printing speed depends on acceleration, printer mechanics, nozzle diameter, hotend melting capacity, volumetric flow rate, cooling and model geometry.
Short movements, fine details, bridges, overhangs and visible outer walls may require slower speeds.
Users should begin with an appropriate PLA+ profile and increase printing speed gradually after confirming material flow, surface quality and layer adhesion.
2. Deep Raven Black Colour for Professional Prints
Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black features a solid black appearance suitable for modern design projects and functional-style prototypes.
Black is a versatile colour for technical models because it complements a wide range of other shades.
The Raven Black finish is useful for product mock-ups, miniature vehicles, geometric sculptures, customized organizers and architectural presentation models.
Black components can also create attractive contrast when combined with bright colours or metallic-looking filament.
NFIL3D emphasizes controlled colour formulation to help maintain consistent colour across printing material.
The final printed shade and surface sheen can vary according to nozzle temperature, printing speed, layer height and lighting conditions.
Raven Black is a colour designation and does not automatically indicate a matte, carbon-fibre, conductive or recycled material formulation.
3. Enhanced Strength Compared with Regular PLA
Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black uses an enhanced PLA+ formulation intended to provide higher strength than conventional PLA.
This makes it suitable for selected appearance prototypes, lightweight housings, organizers, decorative components and customized accessories.
The formulation is developed for practical handling durability while retaining familiar PLA-based printing characteristics.
However, the mechanical performance of completed prints also depends on wall thickness, infill density, printing orientation, layer adhesion and model geometry.
High-speed printing can affect layer bonding if the hotend cannot melt and deposit sufficient material.
For heavy loads, elevated temperatures or safety-critical applications, users should evaluate the completed parts before use.
4. Precision 1.75mm Diameter with ±0.015mm Tolerance
Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black has a nominal diameter of 1.75mm and an advertised filament diameter tolerance of ±0.015mm.
Consistent filament thickness is important because slicing software calculates extrusion based on the configured filament diameter.
Large variations can contribute to under-extrusion, over-extrusion, uneven layer widths and unwanted surface defects.
NFIL3D emphasizes dimensional control as part of its filament manufacturing approach.
The advertised tolerance is intended to support predictable material feeding through correctly calibrated extrusion systems.
This measurement describes filament diameter tolerance, not guaranteed dimensional accuracy of a finished 3D printed object.
5. Nozzle-Friendly PLA+ Formulation
Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black is intended for reliable extrusion through compatible FDM and FFF printer hotends.
Its material formulation and controlled filament dimensions are designed to support consistent feeding under suitable operating conditions.
A clean nozzle, correctly calibrated extruder and appropriate printing temperature remain important for successful printing.
At higher speeds, the printer must melt enough material to satisfy the requested volumetric flow rate.
If the hotend cannot keep up, the print may show under-extrusion, missing layers, uneven surfaces or poor layer adhesion.
Users should choose settings that match the actual capabilities of their printer rather than relying only on the advertised speed range.
6. Moisture Management with Two Desiccants
Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black is supplied with two desiccants intended to help limit moisture exposure during storage.
PLA-based filament can absorb humidity from its surroundings, particularly during extended exposure to damp conditions.
Excess moisture may cause popping sounds, bubbling, stringing and inconsistent extrusion.
The included desiccants help maintain suitable storage conditions but cannot guarantee that the filament stays permanently moisture-free.
After opening the spool, store unused material in a sealed protective bag or airtight container with suitable desiccant.
For more information, consult the Prusa Filament Drying and Storage Guide.
7. Full 1kg Net Filament Weight
Every spool of Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black is specified with a full 1kg net weight of usable 3D printer filament.
Net filament weight excludes the empty spool and external packaging.
This provides a clear material quantity for planning printing projects.
A full kilogram spool can support several smaller prototypes, multiple decorative objects or larger individual designs.
Users can estimate material consumption through their slicing software before printing.
Actual filament usage depends on model geometry, wall thickness, infill, support structures and printing settings.
8. Consistent Black Colour Across Printed Parts
Colour consistency is important when producing several printed components intended to form one model or assembly.
NFIL3D emphasizes controlled colour formulation to help maintain a uniform Raven Black appearance.
Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black can be used for matching product prototypes, model housings, architectural elements and customized accessories.
Maintaining similar nozzle temperatures, layer heights and outer-wall speeds between printing sessions can also help reduce differences in surface sheen.
9. Backed by 30+ Years of Polymer Expertise
NFIL3D draws on more than 30 years of experience in polymer raw materials, additives and processing.
This background supports its attention to material formulation, filament dimensional consistency and manufacturing control.
The Turbo-Finish Raven Black variant brings these priorities together with a versatile colour and manufacturer-advertised high-speed printing support.

Recommended Printing Settings for Turbo-Finish PLA+
For dependable printing with Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black, begin with a suitable PLA+ or high-speed PLA+ material profile and follow the temperature recommendations provided on NFIL3D’s packaging.
Nozzle Temperature: Use the manufacturer’s recommended range and adjust within it according to extrusion requirements and printer capability.
Bed Temperature: Select a suitable heated-bed temperature and keep the build surface clean.
Layer Height: A 0.20mm layer height is a practical starting point with a standard 0.4mm nozzle.
Printing Speed: Begin at a printer-supported speed, then increase gradually after checking material flow, print quality and layer bonding.
Outer-Wall Speed: Use controlled speeds for visible surfaces, even when internal walls and infill are printed faster.
Maximum Volumetric Flow: Ensure the hotend can melt enough filament for the selected line width, layer height and actual printing speed.
Acceleration: Choose values supported by the printer’s motion system.
Part Cooling: Adjust cooling according to bridges, overhangs, layer time and bonding requirements.
Storage: Keep unused filament sealed with suitable desiccant.
Understanding Volumetric Flow in High-Speed Printing
When printing Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black at higher speeds, the hotend’s maximum volumetric flow becomes an important limitation.
The simplified calculation is:
Required Volumetric Flow = Line Width × Layer Height × Actual Print Speed
For example, with a 0.45mm line width and a 0.20mm layer height:
| Actual Print Speed | Approximate Required Flow |
|---|---|
| 100mm/s | 9mm³/s |
| 200mm/s | 18mm³/s |
| 300mm/s | 27mm³/s |
| 500mm/s | 45mm³/s |
| 750mm/s | 67.5mm³/s |
These calculations show theoretical material demand, not verified performance of any particular printer or filament.
The printer may also be unable to reach its configured maximum speed on short movements because of acceleration limits.
Select printing speeds based on the actual hotend capacity, printer mechanics and required surface quality.
Tips for Better Raven Black 3D Prints
The final appearance of Turbo-Finish PLA+ Raven Black depends on material condition, printer calibration and slicing settings.
For product presentation models, use consistent outer-wall speeds to achieve more uniform-looking visible surfaces.
Black filament may make dust, scratches and certain surface variations more noticeable under direct lighting, so clean handling can improve presentation quality.
Before starting large prints, check first-layer adhesion and build-plate cleanliness.
For intricate miniature models, use an appropriate layer height and carefully selected print orientation.
When increasing printing speed, watch for ringing, under-extrusion, poor bridging and weak layer bonding.
If the hotend cannot maintain the required material flow, reduce speed or adjust settings within the manufacturer’s recommendations.
When switching from a different filament material, purge the nozzle sufficiently to remove residual material.
Store unused filament in sealed packaging with suitable desiccant.
If bubbling, stringing or inconsistent extrusion occurs, review filament moisture, nozzle temperature and retraction settings.
