What are GF filaments (glass fiber)?

GF filaments contain short glass fiber (15-25 %). Higher stiffness and dimensional stability than pure plastic. Alternative to carbon composites.

GF vs. CF

  • GF - whitish/grey surface, cheaper
  • CF - black matte, more expensive
  • GF has better toughness

Common variants

  • PETG-GF - tough, watertight
  • PA-GF (Nylon-GF) - technical
  • PC-GF - extremely strong

Nozzle

GF is slightly abrasive - needs hardened steel nozzle.
