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.

Printing Tips

• Drying conditions: 80℃ for 8 hrs. Dry the filament before printing to achieve higher print quality.

• To minimize warping, avoid printing large-sized high infill density models. Use enclosed printers and ensure the build plate is properly applied with glue for better print adhesion before printing. Set lower printing speed and higher heatbed temperature. For more details please refer to: Common print quality problems and solutions on WIKI.

• Similar to ABS, pungent and unpleasant odors may be released during printing. Make sure your printer is placed in a well-ventilated area and use enclosed printers.
