After testing BambuLab PPA-CF filament, I was amazed by its impressive strength. But how does it stack up against PEEK, one of the strongest industrial filaments available? While I printed the PPA-CF on my BambuLab X1C, I had to rely on a professional 3D printing service for the PEEK parts—an investment that brought the material costs for this video to nearly $200. Both are printed using similar settings (3 walls, 100% infill).

For PEEK I used 3D printing services, which I paid for. This is not a sponsored video of any kind, the company don't even know about this video: pcbway.com
