Carbon-fiber-filled filament for heat-resistant parts
Part of the heat-resistant filament guide. Carbon-fiber-filled engineering filaments (ABS-CF, ASA-CF, PC-CF, PA-CF, PET-CF, PPA-CF, PPS-CF) add stiffness and often raise heat-deflection values compared with the unfilled base material. They are abrasive: Bambu requires a hardened steel nozzle for CF/GF materials and recommends an enclosed printer for them. PLA-CF and PETG-CF are not included here because they are not high-heat materials. Nothing here was printed or measured by this site; every value links to its source.

- ABS-CF: Not a row in Bambu's compatibility table. Bambu's printer-requirements table groups ABS, ASA, PC, PA "and their CF/GF reinforced materials" under enclosed printers, and its nozzle guidance requires a hardened steel nozzle for CF/GF materials. (source)
- ASA-CF/GF: Not a row in Bambu's compatibility table. Bambu's printer-requirements table groups ABS, ASA, PC, PA "and their CF/GF reinforced materials" under enclosed printers, and its nozzle guidance requires a hardened steel nozzle for CF/GF materials. (source)
- PC-CF/GF: Not a row in Bambu's compatibility table. Bambu's printer-requirements table groups ABS, ASA, PC, PA "and their CF/GF reinforced materials" under enclosed printers, and its nozzle guidance requires a hardened steel nozzle for CF/GF materials. Bambu names PC-CF in that group. (source)
- Bambu lists PPS-CF/GF only for H2 Series and X1E printers. (source)

- ASA-CF: No ASA-CF row in Bambu's compatibility table; Bambu's printer table groups ASA "and their CF/GF reinforced materials" under enclosed printers, and its nozzle guidance requires hardened steel for CF/GF materials. Bambu recommends glue stick for ASA-CF. (source)
Heat-resistance values from manufacturer datasheets
Sorted by HDT at 0.45 MPa. A dash means the datasheet does not give that value (or gives it without a stated load), so it is left blank rather than estimated. HDT is a lab comparison value measured on test bars under a fixed load, not a rated service temperature, and depends on test method, print orientation and annealing. Retrieved .
