Looks great but is actually weaker then just PLA. Offers a nice looking texture.

It is about 25% "stronger" than regular PLA, but it is much less ductile. Choose you designs accordingly, it's great for some things like mounting brackets or tool hangers, but not great for stuff that needs to be able to flex or move, like hinges or clips

The opposite, stronger than PLA which means it doesn't flex under weight or tension.

Do your own research, but here is what I've found/believe.
PLA-CF is hot garbage. PLA sticks to itself, but doesn't stick to a lot of other things. The CF bits can separate from the PLA in the nozzle and cause partial clogs that may not manifest immediately. I've used pla-cf, got my print completed, switched to other filaments, printed successfully, and then started having partial nozzle clogs. I've had it happen with multiple nozzles.

After fixing the partial clogs, I've not used PLA-CF since and haven't seen a partial clog either.
While it can be argued that there could have been external factors, I'm not touching the stuff again.

Any thoughts on ABS-GF?

I haven't used it, so I have no opinion.

most manufacturers say that CF in PLA is for the finish texture, makes parts look like their molded, has nothing to do with strength.

i use some from Eryone and man does it make some very VERY pretty smooth parts... they really do look like they came out of a mold. i use it for things like foam dart blasters, makes a fantastic looking finish for the gun parts.

i've run many rolls of PLA-CF from Eryone through my X1C with a 0.4 hot end and never had problem...
what vendor are you using?

glow in the dark filament on the other hand... man glow in the dark stuff is cool, god i hate the clogs LMAO cold pull before and after every single time and sometimes it just doesn't matter with a 0.4 hot end.

Used a lot of Elegoo filaments and have had good luck with most of it. Definitely had to make sure it spent a LOT of time on the dryer first.

Printing challenges aside, Carbon Fiber filaments are a serious health issue.
The fibers don't stay embedded in the plastic, and can come loose, either becoming microscopic splinters, or could get airborne and inhaled.
There are some very informative YouTube videos with guys who have looked at CF 3D prints under an electron microscope, illustrating how easily the carbon fibers can detach from the plastic.
Not worth it at any price.

Also a myth. Real world tests show CF prints breaking with less force than regular PLA. Then you add in the health dangers of the fibers coming loose from the plastic and causing harm.

^Exactly this. It turns out PLA doesn't bond and ends up leaving gaps in the print.
