Product description
Bambu ABS-GF
Bambu ABS-GF is a glass fiber reinforced ABS filament that has been improved in both 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 deformation and warping. The glass fibers give the material a fine matte surface with micro glossy reflections 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, making it ideal for load-bearing parts and components resistant to bending.

Better dimensional stability
Thanks to the glass fiber reinforcement, ABS-GF has better dimensional stability than standard ABS, minimizing 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
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 both 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 to the build plate correctly. 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.
