I have some Fiberology PA12+CF15 blend (link) from a long time ago and recently got around to using it. I am amazed to say the least! It prints easier than PETG, even without an enclosure. Only downside is that it is much more expensive per kg, although it is lower density so I don’t seem to be going through it as quickly as other filaments.

I recently purchased some PC Blend with CF from Prusa as well. I haven’t gotten to print it yet, but I’ve heard very good things about it, too.

What less common filaments do you fine folks like using?

    I dusted off a sealed roll of polymaker natural ASA for my CR10 V2 pro, trying to print parts for my motorcycle and cars that were previously printed in PLA+. So far a few large parts have warped about 2/3rds of the way through. I purchased a PEI magnetic bed and am now using an enclosure. The benchy i printed looks perfect tho. If i can get it dialed in, i think it will be my favorite.

      I love ASA for exterior fixes around the house. Durable, stable, but - as you’ve found - a bit finnicky about warping.
