@gigabecquerel @FabLabMuc is it actually stronger than normal filament at least?

    @f4grx @FabLabMuc Didn't test that yet. It's a part for work, where it has to survive a few kGy and >100 °C, so I selected that material for the specs in its datasheet. Testing will start some time this month to confirm them.

    @f4grx @gigabecquerel @FabLabMuc in my highly unscientific anecdotal testing, CF prints are much more brittle than standard PLA. I realise that 'strong' means a lot of different things, but I snapped two bambu PLA-CF parts handling them in a similar way to the same parts printed in bambu PLA

  • @f4grx @gigabecquerel @FabLabMuc in my experience: no it’s not much stronger, the fibers are too short to make a difference, but it keeps dimensions really well because the fibers do not shrink while cooling, so less warping. At least glass fiber stuff is really hard to sand, so if you need something more abrasion resistant that’s nice.
