In this video, I put the Phaetus NexPA-CF25 filament to the test – a high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced PPA that's part of the Core material family. Is it just another contender, or does it stand out in the growing field of engineering-grade filaments?

I go through detailed testing, from slicing and printing to mechanical tests and thermal resistance. You'll see how this filament behaves under stress, how it handles heat, and whether it delivers the performance you'd expect from a PPA-CF25 blend.
