Bambu Lab ABS-GF Yellow
Yellow Bambu ABS-GF is an ABS filament reinforced with glass fibers. It excels with higher strength, stiffness, and heat resistance (up to 99 °C). It has a fine matte surface, is resistant to water and wear. Ideal for mechanical parts and decorative elements. We recommend printing with a hardened steel nozzle and on a PEI build plate with glue. Dry before printing.

Product description
Bambu ABS-GF
Bambu ABS-GF is a glass fiber reinforced ABS filament that is enhanced in both mechanical and aesthetic properties. Compared to standard ABS, ABS-GF stands out with higher strength, stiffness, 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 highlights that mask the print layers. Thanks to 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 surpasses standard ABS in 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 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 nearly 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 durable 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: Avoid excessively large and densely infilled models. Use enclosed printers and apply glue properly on the build plate. Set a lower print speed and a higher bed temperature.
•Odor during printing: Like ABS, ABS-GF can emit an unpleasant odor during printing. Ensure adequate ventilation and use enclosed printers.
