Bambu ABS-GF

Bambu ABS-GF is a glass fiber-reinforced ABS filament, enhanced in both mechanical and aesthetic properties. Compared with regular ABS, ABS-GF outperforms in strength, stiffness, temperature resistance and dimensional stability, while being less prone to deformation and warping. Glass fiber imparts a smooth matte finish with micro-spot gloss, blurring layer lines. ABS-GF is ideal for both mechanical parts and decorations due to the inherited water resistance, wear resistance, durability and vibrant colors.

Enhanced Strength and Stiffness

ABS-GF outclasses regular ABS in strength and stiffness, making it perfect for load-bearing and bending-resistance parts.

	ABS	ABS-GF	Improvement %
Stiffness (Bending Modulus – XY)	1880 MPa	2860 MPa	52.1%
Strength (Bending Strength – XY)	64 MPa	68 MPa	6.3%
Layer Strength (Bending Strength – Z)	39 MPa	46 MPa	17.9%
Heat Resistance (HDT, 0.45 MPa)	87 °C	99 °C	13.8%

Greater Dimensional Stability

Glass fiber reinforcement gives ABS-GF better dimensional stability than regular ABS, minimizing warping and deformation during printing. This makes it ideal for intricate mechanical assembly parts or geometric components.

Specimen Test: Model size (L*W*H): 240*50*20 mm³ (the XY direction); Infill Density: 25%

Fine Matte Finish

The seamless matte finish, coupled with nearly invisible layer lines, gives ABS-GF a smooth appearance, making it ideal for decorative and fine-grained parts.

Water Resistance & Built to Last

With improved water resistance and durability, Bambu ABS-GF is ideal for printing long-lasting production and household items, like mechanical casings, connectors and molds.

13 March 2024 - Review for:PETG-CF – Carbon Fibre Enhanced PETG FilamentInteresting combination of materials. Has the stiffness of ASA but the toughness of PETG. Also like ASA, I found a tendency for the layers to separate if printed with the same temp as PETG. Raising the extruder temperature helped, but then I found blobs forming. A good balance seems to be 242degC with a touch of fan.I'm printing on a Garolite print bed and found I had to bring the bed temp down to 70degC, any hotter and the print is very hard to remove!Also, remember you'll need a steel nozzle, as apparently the CF will ream out your orifice quick smart. The filament is hygroscopic so needs to be dried before use.My suggestion - get PETG printing well, before moving onto this filament.My printing factors currently:Ender3 v2 with MicroSwiss DD Extruder 0.6mm hardened steel MicroSwiss Nozzle Retraction: 1.5mm Garolite Printbed Extruder Temp: 242degC Fan: 5% always on | Bridges: 40% Layer Height: .24mm Perim: 35mm/s Small Perim: 25 mm/s Ext PErim: 20 mm/sREVIEW FOR ASA Blue-GreyPrinted the three parts in the photo attached, individually on an Ender 3 v2 without an enclosure, but with a printed draft shield.Nozzle at 250 degC first layer, then 246 degC for the following layers Bed at 102 degC first layer, then 98 degC for the following layersNote: I have a Capricorn PTFE Bowden Tube. Better temp durability than E3v2 stock Bowden tube.My bed plate is Garolite wet sanded with 1200 grit wet n dry and cleaned between prints with Isopropyl and paper towel.You don't want to be in the same room as the printer when printing ASA - smells bad. Also, once the first layer has finished, keep the door closed to avoid drafts.Print rough smoothed using 240 grit sandpaper, then 1200 wet n dry - wet sanded. ASA sands easily and down to a great finish.Next step is try printing in an enclosure and to try Acetone smoothing :)NOTE: The supplied filament reel's centre-hole is too small for my Ender 3 v2 reel holder. I use a dryer so all good, would be frustrating if you wanted to use a stock holder. EDIT: Must have had my eyes closed - The spool holes have filler plates! Removing these plates and my conundrum was solved :) Read Less

I was looking for a colour similar to the primer red seen on German WW2 heavy vehicles. Wanted to print a 1/4 scale model of a Tiger tank 88mm muzzle brake. Ordered the 3DEA "Brick Red" PLA which is a very good match. Never used prior and pleased to report printed faultlessly once I knocked the temp down to 200 degrees on my Kingroon KP3S. Printed at 0.10mm layer height, no stringing issues at all. Very happy customer. Already planning the next order, highly recommended. Read Less

3dea is a real pleasure to deal with. Not only do they stock a great range of filament which you can get from other suppliers in NZ. They have a massive range of own-brand filament which is often unique to NZ and is of the highest quality. All in all, 3dea are highly recommended. Read Less
