Description
ABS reinforced with chopped glass fiber.
Common use cases
Rigid fixtures, structural housings, brackets, and dimensionally stable parts.
Advantages
Reduced warping compared with ordinary ABS; increased stiffness; good wear and water resistance.
Disadvantages
Abrasive; rougher surface; lower flexibility; glass fibers can irritate skin when sanding or cutting.
Printing tips and recommendations
Use a hardened 0.6 mm nozzle. Preheat the chamber and control cooling to prevent warping. Dry before dimensional or cosmetic prints. Ventilate or exhaust the printer, and wear skin and eye protection when sanding or cutting fiber-filled parts.
X2D guidance
Use a hardened 0.6 mm nozzle when practical. Chamber heat remains beneficial.
Support-material guidance
Support for ABS; HIPS after validation; ABS-GF or ABS for ordinary supports.
