Carbon Fiber vs Glass Fiber: Which Is Better for 3D Printing?

Carbon fiber (CF) vs glass fiber (GF) reinforced 3D printing filaments. Which reinforcement is better? I compared 18 pairs of filaments (36 materials in total) from the same brands and material types, with one CF-reinforced and one GF-reinforced filament in each pair. Using data from my previous independent filament tests, I analyzed how carbon fiber and glass fiber compare across different materials and mechanical properties. Which reinforcement performs better? Let's find out!

It contains data from my tests to help you compare different materials and choose the right filament for your applications.
