In this video, I’m testing two filaments from YXPolyer: their standard ABS and the carbon fiber-reinforced ABS-CF. I run them through the same tests to compare strength, shrinkage, layer adhesion, print quality, and more. If you’re wondering whether the carbon fiber version is actually better—or just more expensive—this video should help you decide.

I print both materials under the same conditions and evaluate their performance with tensile, bending, impact, torsion, and creep tests. The results might surprise you!
If you enjoy independent, practical filament tests like this, consider supporting my work on Patreon. My supporters get early access to some videos and a downloadable spreadsheet with all the results from previous tests—perfect for comparing filaments side by side.
