RE: PCTG - A better PETG

Have you tried their matte black PCTG? They say it has some CF in it, but it's more expensive and at that point, why not use the real PCTG-CF?

Interesting story with that. It has 5% CF fill and is $55/kg. I bit too expensive for what it is. I bought a roll from them and they sent me Galaxy black by mistake. It was wound onto a matte black spool. They sent me the proper spool and it looks nice, prints very smooth but not really worth that inflated price. At $55/kg it's more expensive than some brands of PC-CF. 

The main difference between PCTG matte black and PCTG-CF is the percentage of carbon fiber. The later is going to be much stiffer and will lose the ductility of PCTG due to increased stiffness. For something like that I prefer to use PET-CF which unfortunately is not ideal to print on a Core One.
