Material
ABS-GF — Glass-fibre reinforced ABS
ABS that no longer warps: same heat resistance, twice the stiffness.
Use it for
- Large ABS parts that used to curl as they cooled
- Brackets near a motor or a heat source
- Rigid enclosures assembled with screws
What it will not do
- Three times the price of PETG: only worth it if the load demands it
- Matt, slightly rough surface — not a cosmetic material
- Black only

What we have learned using it
A lot of enquiries come in asking for ABS-GF when PETG is more than enough. We say so: an over-specified part has never won anyone's loyalty.

Names are the manufacturer's own and serve as the ordering reference. The colour runs through the material, it is not painted on — swatches are indicative, a physical sample prevails.
