Description
PETG reinforced with chopped carbon fiber.
Common use cases
Functional housings, fixtures, machine accessories, and dimensionally stable workshop parts.
Advantages
Stiffer than ordinary PETG; reduced gloss; better dimensional stability; less visible layer texture.
Disadvantages
Abrasive; more expensive; reduced ductility; carbon fiber does not automatically make the part impact-resistant.
Printing tips and recommendations
Use a hardened 0.6 mm nozzle and dry thoroughly before printing. Keep speeds conservative if extrusion becomes inconsistent. Use enough walls for strength; fiber-filled PETG is stiffer but less ductile than unfilled PETG.
X2D guidance
Support for PLA/PETG after profile validation; PETG-CF or PETG for ordinary supports.
Support-material guidance
Use the hardened nozzle, preferably 0.6 mm. Keep the filament dry and avoid the 0.2 mm nozzle.
