Printers that print FormFutura PLA well
No printer in our catalog is rated for PLA + Carbon-fiber & glass-filled from its specs alone; only a maker's own list of materials says so. Check your printer maker's list, and for a fibre-filled filament, that the printer has a hardened nozzle.

In a multi-material unit
Fibre-filled and abrasive: it wears parts that aren't hardened. Check that your multi-material unit's maker allows abrasive filament before loading it there.
The Open Filament Database doesn't record the spool's size or whether it is cardboard yet: check that it fits your unit.
NFC and RFID tags
FormFutura puts no tag on its spools that we know of. SimplyPrint writes one for the system you use, so the spool works like the system maker's own:
Creality CFS: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so Creality printers read it like their own.
Anycubic ACE: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so Anycubic printers read it like their own.
OpenPrintTag: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so Prusa printers read it like their own.
ELEGOO Canvas: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so ELEGOO printers read it like their own.
OpenSpool: SimplyPrint writes an open OpenSpool tag, which any OpenSpool reader can read.
QidiTech: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so QIDI printers read it like their own.
OpenTag: SimplyPrint writes an open OpenTag tag, which any OpenTag reader can read.
TigerTag: SimplyPrint writes an open TigerTag tag, which any TigerTag reader can read.
Bambu Lab and Snapmaker U1 tags are signed by the printer maker, so we can't write them, but we can write the others. On those printers, SimplyPrint keeps track of the spool instead.

Frequently asked questions
What temperature do I print FormFutura PLA at?
FormFutura gives a nozzle temperature of 190-230 °C and a bed temperature of 50-70 °C. Start in the middle of the range and adjust for your printer.
Does FormFutura PLA have an NFC or RFID tag?
Not from FormFutura, as far as we know. SimplyPrint can write a tag for it for the Creality CFS, Anycubic ACE, OpenPrintTag, ELEGOO Canvas, OpenSpool, QidiTech, OpenTag and TigerTag, so the spool works like the system maker's own.
Is there a slicer profile for FormFutura PLA?
Not one of its own that we know of. Use your slicer's generic PLA profile with the temperatures above.
Do I need a hardened nozzle for FormFutura PLA?
Yes. It is fibre-filled and wears a brass nozzle quickly; use hardened steel or another wear-resistant nozzle.
