The Hyper PETG-CF 3-Pack (pick any three colors) is currently on sale for $35.97 at the Creality store. You can get an additional 5% off with code
PETGCF5 from the Creality
Blog [creality.com] that brings the price down a bit more to $34.18.
Shipping is $3.99, so final total is $38.17.
Carbon fiber reinforced PETG sits in a middle ground between standard PETG and more demanding engineering filaments. You get the toughness PETG is known for, plus added rigidity and hardness from the carbon fiber, while it still can be printed on pretty much any entry level FDM 3D printer. CF-filled filaments are generally priced higher than standard PETG, so I would use it for prints that actually need a bit more rigidity.
Technical Specifications:
- Filament Diameter: 1.75mm (±0.03mm tolerance)
- Material: PETG with Carbon Fiber reinforcement
- Net Weight: 1kg per spool (3kg total)
- Recommended Print Temperature: 230-250°C
- Bed Temperature: 70-90°C
- Print Speed: 40-80mm/s

A YouTube channel has also gone through a lot of testing and inspection and found that the plastic will shrink away from the cf particles, leaving tiny air voids. The testing he did also showed that CF filament is actually weaker than non-cf filament (at least in PLA).
In short, it sounds good on paper, but is a complete waste of money and time over standard filaments.

Actually picked up a couple of these because they're really nice earth tones, and the petg-cf looks like it has a much more matte metallic like finish according to the Al Gore Network.
Agreed you don't buy it for any increase in strength but you do get a significant increase in both sniffness and temperature tolerance. I suspect the abrasion characteristics will be better too if you want to make some janky gears without going full engineering.
I buy it on sale & am very happy with my supply.
Agree that it is more likely to clog though. 👍
