Magnetic field controlled (MFC) 3D printing is a promising method for realizing the intelligent control of the structural performance of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites by adjusting the fiber orientation during the printing process. However, few studies have focused on the influence of the printing parameters on the magnetic control of the fiber direction. Therefore, in this study, the mechanical properties and internal fiber distributions of MFC 3D-printed samples of CFRP composites with 10 wt% fiber content, which were printed at different speeds and layer thicknesses, were investigated. Subsequently, the effects of the fiber content on the mechanical properties and fiber distribution of the MFC 3D-printed samples were studied. Furthermore, the origin of fiber fracture was evaluated through observation and analysis of the fracture section using scanning electron microscopy. The fiber orientation could be well adjusted under the action of a magnetic field and adjustment of printing parameters, thereby improving the tensile strength, young's modulus significantly with slightly decrease of fracture elongation. The recommended parameter combinations (printing speed and layer thickness) were 40 mm/s and 0.2 mm for 10 wt% fiber content CFRP composites.
