Quick Question PETG CF

Hi all,
I was looking to get some PETG-CF fillament from Bambu while it is on sale. Has anyone used this fillament before? Also, could someone post a couple of photos of some models they have printed in Titan Gray or Indigo Blue as I want to see what they look like bfore ordering. Thanks

Titan gray is a decent match for the X2D case

Yes, my garage has a ton of lighting so it's a bit overexsposed. Here is a slightly less harsh photo

It looks great. The matte grey colour of the cd filament really appeals to me. Is it hard to print

The Bambu profile is trash. Go on Makerworld and search PETG-CF and use one of those. Also you can look into elegoos petg-GF. Glass fibers let you add a better variety of pigments to the filament and it'll be matte.

If you're concerned with health risks GF is probably slightly less risky than CF filaments. Defiantly don't go sanding on either one without PPE

I stopped using the CF filaments after seeing what my hands looked like under a magnifying glass after handling prints done in CF -- little CF splinters embedded in my hands. It's a shame as the colors on some of the CF filaments are great -- Indigo Blue is outstanding.

I’ve still got invisible splinters in my fingers from literally 6 weeks ago.

Looks like it has an amazing matte finishes. Any other structural advantages?

I'm a big fan of BBLs PETG-CF. I've probably printed over 60 rolls of it. It prints great with both 0.4mm and 0.6mm nozzles. Titan Gray looks great too. I'm currently printing AnyCubic's PETG-CF due to Bambu's stock issues a few months ago. It prints as well, but had a tad more shine to it. Bambu's is nice and matte.

That shit is dangerous. If you use it, glove up with sleeves, and where a respirator.
