It is PETG filament with chopped carbon fiber mixed in. The fiber raises stiffness and abrasion resistance and gives a matte finish.

Do I need a special nozzle?

Yes. Carbon fiber is abrasive, so a hardened steel or ruby nozzle is recommended over brass.

How does it compare with plain PETG?

It is stiffer and more wear-resistant, with a matte look instead of gloss. Plain PETG bonds layers more easily and is gentler on nozzles.

What should I print with it?

Functional parts: brackets, jigs, tool holders, drone frames and other pieces that take load or rubbing.

PETG absorbs moisture, so drying the spool before printing helps avoid stringing and weak layers.

Is it food safe or flexible?

No. It is a rigid, fiber-filled engineering material, not a food-contact or flexible filament.

Our take on the PETG-CF

Elegoo PETG-CF is a carbon fiber reinforced PETG 3D printing filament. The chopped carbon fiber adds stiffness and abrasion resistance over plain PETG, and prints come out with a matte finish that hides layer lines. It suits makers printing functional parts like brackets, jigs, tool holders and drone frames. Compared with plain PETG it is stiffer and tougher on wear, but it is more abrasive on nozzles and less forgiving on layer adhesion. Buyers rate it highly, at 4.9 out of 5 from 132 ratings.
