Engineered for high-strength mechanical applications, Phaetus aeWorthy ABS-GF Filament combines standard ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) with 10% chopped glass fiber reinforcement. This high-tech composite formulation significantly increases tensile strength and structural rigidity while reducing thermal shrinkage and warping during the 3D printing process.
Phaetus aeWorthy ABS-GF provides enhanced dimensional stability, low odor during processing, and a refined matte surface finish that effectively masks layer lines. Because glass fibers are highly abrasive to standard brass nozzles, printing with a hardened steel or tungsten carbide nozzle is strongly recommended for optimal performance and long component life.
Key Features
10% Glass Fiber Reinforcement: Chopped glass fibers deliver superior stiffness, impact resistance, and mechanical endurance.
Improved Dimensional Stability: Minimizes shrinkage and layer warping commonly associated with unfilled ABS filaments.
Refined Matte Surface: Glass fiber dispersion creates a smooth, matte visual appearance that hides layer transitions.
Low Odor Formulation: Specially processed to reduce fumes and odor compared to standard ABS resins during printing.
