Product description
Bambu ABS-GF
Bambu ABS-GF is a glass fiber reinforced ABS filament that is improved in terms of both mechanical and aesthetic properties. Compared to regular ABS, ABS-GF excels with higher strength, stiffness, thermal resistance, and dimensional stability, while being less prone to deformation and warping. Glass fibers give the material a fine matte surface with micro-glossy reflections that mask print layers. Thanks to its water resistance, wear resistance, high durability, and vibrant colors, ABS-GF is ideal for both mechanical parts and decorative elements.
Increased strength and stiffness
ABS-GF exceeds regular ABS in its strength and stiffness, making it ideal for load-bearing parts and components resistant to bending.

Better dimensional stability
Thanks to glass fiber reinforcement, ABS-GF has better dimensional stability than regular ABS, which minimizes warping and deformation during printing. This makes it ideal for complex mechanical assemblies and geometric components.
Sample test: Model size (LWH): 2405020 mm³ (XY direction), infill density: 25%.
Fine matte surface
A matte surface with almost invisible layers gives ABS-GF a smooth appearance, making it suitable for decorative and finely processed parts.
Water resistance and long life
With better water resistance and durability, Bambu ABS-GF is ideal for manufacturing durable mechanical covers, connectors, and molds for both domestic and industrial use.

Printing tips
•Drying: 80 °C for 8 hours. Dry the filament before printing to achieve higher print quality.
•Minimizing deformation: Do not use models that are too large or densely filled. Use enclosed printers and apply glue correctly to the build plate. Set a lower printing speed and a higher build plate temperature.
•Odor during printing: Like ABS, ABS-GF can release an unpleasant odor during printing. Ensure adequate ventilation and use enclosed printers.
