Carbon Fiber PETG
CF-PETG (Carbon Fiber Polyethylene Terephthlate Glycol) is very similar to Standard PETG but is blended and composited with carbon fiber strands. This reduces the plastics tendency to warp and reduces the flexibily of the material making it more suited for applications that require rigid strong parts.

Additional Recommendations
Check our slicing configurations at http://forum.gcreate.com/index.php?resources/categories/slicing-configuration-files.2/
Start print at 245°C and on the third layer, lower it to 235°C.
Start cooling fan on the third layer at 40%.
Prints well with cooling fan at 40%.
Use G10 FR4 heated bed or GeckoTek cold to print.
Very strong material.
Only comes on Black.
