Bambu Lab ABS-GF Orange (orange)
Red Bambu Lab ABS-GF is an ABS filament reinforced with glass fibers. It excels in higher strength, rigidity and heat resistance (up to 99 °C). It has a fine matte surface, is water-resistant and durable. Ideal for mechanical parts as well as decorative elements. We recommend printing with a hardened steel nozzle and an enclosed printer.

Product description
Bambu ABS-GF
Bambu ABS-GF is a glass fiber reinforced ABS filament that has been enhanced both in terms of mechanical and aesthetic properties. Compared to regular ABS, ABS-GF stands out with higher strength, rigidity, heat resistance and dimensional stability, while being less prone to warping and deformation. The glass fibers give the material a fine matte surface with micro-glossy highlights that mask the 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 rigidity
ABS-GF surpasses regular ABS in strength and rigidity, which makes 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.
Test sample: Model size (LWH): 2405020 mm³ (XY direction), infill density: 25 %.
Fine matte surface
The matte surface with almost invisible layers gives ABS-GF a smooth appearance, making it suitable for decorative and finely crafted parts.
Water resistance and long service life
Thanks to improved water resistance and durability, Bambu ABS-GF is ideal for producing robust mechanical housings, connectors and molds for home and industrial use.

Printing tips
•Drying: 80 °C for 8 hours. Dry the filament before printing to achieve higher print quality.
•Minimizing warping: Do not use overly large and densely filled models. Use enclosed printers and apply glue correctly to the build plate. Set a lower print speed and a higher bed temperature.
•Odor during printing: Just like ABS, ABS-GF can emit an unpleasant odor during printing. Ensure sufficient ventilation and use enclosed printers.
