Bambu Lab ABS-GF Filament on Spool 41600 Blue
Description
Bambu ABS-GF is a glass fiber-reinforced ABS filament, enhanced in both mechanical and aesthetic properties. Compared to regular ABS, ABS-GF outperforms in strength, stiffness, temperature resistance, and dimensional stability, while being less prone to deformation and warping. Glass fiber imparts a smooth matte finish with micro-spot gloss, blurring layer lines. ABS-GF is ideal for both mechanical parts and decorations due to its water resistance, wear resistance, durability, and vibrant colors.

Printing Tips
- Drying conditions: 80℃ for 8 hrs. Dry the filament before printing to achieve higher print quality.
- To minimize warping, avoid printing large-sized high infill density models. Use enclosed printers and ensure the build plate is properly applied with glue for better print adhesion before printing. Set lower printing speed and higher heatbed temperature. For more details please refer to: Common print quality problems and solutions on Bambu Lab Wiki.
- Similar to ABS, pungent and unpleasant odors may be released during printing. Make sure your printer is placed in a well-ventilated area and use enclosed printers.
- Feel free to reuse your Bambu Reusable Spool. Bambu Lab has designed the entire filament feeding system around a reusable spool concept, reducing plastic waste in filament consumption by at least 20%.
- All printing parameters are embedded in RFID, accessible through Bambu Lab AMS (Automatic Material System). Load and print! No more tedious setup steps.
