Prusament PP-CF vs PP-GF Tested – Carbon Fiber or Glass Fiber Polypropylene?
In this video, I test and directly compare Prusament PP-CF and PP-GF filaments. Both are polypropylene-based materials, reinforced either with carbon fiber or glass fiber, but their behavior during printing and under mechanical load is very different. I look at printability, fiber structure under the microscope 🔬, warping and shrinkage, and a full set of mechanical tests. The goal is simple: carbon fiber or glass fiber – which makes more sense for real 3D printed parts?
