12 best strongest 3d printer filament
The strongest 3D printer filament commonly used in additive manufacturing applications is typically made from materials like carbon fiber-reinforced nylon, polycarbonate (PC), or various composite materials. These filaments are favored for their exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. Here are some of the strongest 3D printer filaments:
Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Nylon (CF-Nylon): CF-Nylon is known for its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. It's a popular choice for applications that require both strength and stiffness.The addition of carbon fiber enhances the filament's structural properties.
Polycarbonate (PC): Polycarbonate is a strong, tough, and heat-resistant material that can withstand high temperatures. It is often used in applications where impact resistance and dimensional stability are crucial.
Fiber-Reinforced Composites: Various composites, such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, or Kevlar-reinforced filaments, offer exceptional strength and durability. These filaments combine the properties of the base material with the reinforcing fibers, resulting in robust 3D-printed parts.
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone): PEEK is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. It is used in demanding industrial applications where mechanical strength and resistance to extreme conditions are required.
Ultem (PEI): Ultem is another high-performance thermoplastic known for its strength and resistance to high temperatures. It is often used in aerospace and automotive industries for producing parts that can withstand extreme conditions.
Metal Filaments: Some metal-infused filaments, like steel, bronze, or copper, are used in 3D printing. While not as strong as solid metal parts, they can provide impressive mechanical properties and a metallic appearance.
Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Filaments: These filaments incorporate carbon nanotubes, which can significantly enhance the strength and electrical conductivity of 3D-printed parts.
The choice of the strongest filament depends on the specific application and the requirements of the printed part. It's essential to consider factors such as material properties, cost, and ease of printing when selecting a filament for a particular project.
Please note that the strength of 3D-printed parts also depends on factors such as printing settings, infill density, and layer adhesion. To achieve the highest possible strength, optimizing these parameters is crucial.

User questions & answers
Question: | Does anyone know what this is actually made of? it has the letters "pc" in the title, but it never says "polycarbonate" and extrudes at low temps |
Answer: | Dear Customer, Thank you for your support to Priline. The PC in the title refers to the material of polycarbonate. To improve the characteristic of the filament, we used modified PC. So the temperature is not very high. If you have any suggestion, just tell us and we will try to develop. Thank you Priline Direct |
Question: | What is the density of this filament |
Answer: | Hi, the density of our Carbon fiber PC is about 1.22-1.25g/cm³. Thank you. |
Question: | Is Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate printable on an ender 3 pro |
Answer: | I've had great results on my Ender 3. 250c nozzle, 100c bed and lower the fan speed a bit for better layer adhesion. |
Question: | Carbon Fiber powder or strands |
Answer: | I took a 1 inch long piece of PRILINE carbon fiber PC filament and torched away the plastic to reveal the carbon fiber. Under magnification, the carbon fiber hairs could easily be seen, contained in burnt plastic remnants and sitting in the ashes. I estimated about %5-10 carbon fiber volume to plastic. The fibers were short, maybe .010" long; aka the dangerous kind to inhale and irritating to the skin. The risk comes typically when the material is sanded, saw cut, etc. I don't know what carbon fiber powder is, but the carbon does not appear to have been added as long linear fibers or tows, but as a short milled fiber resulting in isotropic reinforcement. I've printed several parts using this filament, and they print extremely well, and have good strength and stiffness, and a sexy matte black finish. |

Answer: | Heated printing bed helps the print to stick better, we usually use 50 degrees. |
Question: | I heard that c.f can leave fiber splinters by touching it and maybe some fibers will go air borne while printing c.f. does this brand of c.f do this |
Answer: | I have not encountered this. I doubt the fiber length is much more than 15 micron. |
Question: | Is it electricly conductive |
Answer: | No, it has no conductive properties. |
Question: | Can this carbon fiber work with a 3d printing pen |
Answer: | Probably not as it very abrasive and needs hardended nozzles to print. It also prints around 245 and you need to see if your pen can do that. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is the qidi 3d yellow banner removable? i understand branding, but it's a bit of an eyesore |
Answer: | You can take it off but it will leave the glue on and it is a long process to remove. |
Question: | Is the only difference between x-plus and max the bed size? i noticed the max doesn't list carbon printing - is that feature not available there |
Answer: | The main differences between the X-Max and X-Plus are the build volumes (Max= 300x250x300mm vs Plus= 270x200x200mm) and the touch screen (Max=5" vs Plus= 4.3"). They both can print the same materials, including Carbon Fiber, Polycarbonate, PC/ABS, & Nylon using the Hi-Temp print head that has a hardened steel nozzle to prevent wear when using abrasive filaments. Hope that helps. |
Question: | Is this a dual extruder printer like bibo 3d printer |
Answer: | No, it is a single extruder. The additional extruder they include or send at customer request is an upgraded single extruder module. |
Question: | How does this printer compare with the prusa i3 mk3? they are at the same price point but i would have to wait several weeks for the prusa |
Answer: | The guy that sits next to me at work got the same Prusa kit. He feels like the QIDI X-Plus may out perform his. Also, my build capacity is a bit larger than his. He likes the PEI surface on the Prusa. My only mild complaint is having to exchange extruders for the over 250C range, but I think I get smoother prints with my low temp extruder that he does with the general purpose extruder on the Prusa. Also, he regrets not having an enclosure like mine has. We compare prints all day long, so after he spent an entire day and night building his & I was up and running in 10 minutes, I want to buy another one! I also got mine in 2 days & I have almost immediate answers from support 24/7, no matter how trivial. They are amazing! It took a couple of weeks to get the Prusa. He was so jealous! |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is the green translucent at all, or fully opaque (with 2 perims |
Answer: | Fully Opaque. Great filament, using it right now. |
Question: | How quickly must this be used after opening |
Answer: | Most of the time it's ideal to keep your filament in a dry box when it's not in use as it will absorb moisture out of the air... there is no direct answer because how fast it become hard to use depends on the humidity where you are but you can always bake the filament if you find your starting to have moisture issues. I have used a lot of this filament and have never had an issue. To the point Geeetech filament is the only filament I use now and I have 5 printers with the 6th on the way |
Question: | Do I need to remove from 3d printer and seal after every use? Description mentions to seal unfinished spool in the provided bag |
Answer: | PETG filament can absorb moisture from the air. This causes stringing and some difficulty printing. It is recommended to keep PETG sealed in a container with desiccant to prevent this. That said, nylon is the most prone to absorbing water and pla is the least prone. In my experience, leaving PETG on the printer for a few days doesn’t affect it at all. When I remove the spool of PETG, I store it in a sealed container with desiccant. |
Question: | Will these work well for an Ender |
Answer: | I have a Crealty ender3 and it works great in it. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can it be printed without enclosure |
Answer: | Yes, definitely. Glass bed with glue is necessary, though |
Question: | how does it fare the weather |
Answer: | If you mean storage-wise, then fine I suppose. If you mean post print, it depends. Your finishing techniques will be a big determining factor on your overall part strength. If finished properly, it should hold up to weather quite well. |
Question: | Does this require drying in an oven before using? Or is it packaged well enough to go into a drybox and print immediately |
Answer: | Hi, there is no need to dry in an oven before using. It is vacuum packaged, you can print immediately. If you plan to stock for a long time without using, we suggest putting it into drybox. |

User questions & answers
Question: | What is the glass-liquid transition temperature |
Answer: | Hi there, Thank you so much for contacting us. Glass transition temperature:113 (°C) ; Testing method: DSC, 10 °C/min Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further help. Best Regards, Polymaker |
Question: | any advice for parts warping off the bed. I've tried several things. large prints suffer the most. Also what solvent should I use to make glue |
Answer: | Just want to comment on this since the other answer suggested BuildTak, and for anyone in the future who comes across this. Regular BuildTak sheets are essentially polycarbonate, which sticks extremely well to itself. This will result in damage to your BuildTak sheet in almost every situation, even with a FlexPlate system. Long story short, don't use BuildTak sheets with PC or you'll permanently damage the sheet. I would recommend PEI, a bed temp of 95-105c, enclosed build chamber, and just regular glue stick. Nice evenly coated thin layer without leaving gaps. Apply glue stick while plate is room temp. If you still have trouble, Magigoo makes a PC adhesive. I've found that their regular PLA/ABS/etc adhesive works fine too. Mostly you'll want to maintain a constant and higher chamber temperature with cooling fans turned off. Rapid temperature drops will cause warping and other issues. Some people print with rafts for PC, but if the bottom of the printed object is important to you to be even and level, I would avoid a raft. PC doesn't cut away cleanly, and you'll be left with very rough textured bottom that will almost certainly require some decent post processing effort (such as sanding with a sanding block). It's hardness is it's weakness when needing to use supports or rafts. If you need more surface area in contact with the plate, I'd suggest a single layer wide brim. That's much easier to remove and would really only require sanding/filing/smoothing on the edges where the brim contacts the object. |
Question: | I'm encountering mid print delamination at a variety of temperatures, flow rates, and printing speeds, with an enclosure. Why would this be happening |
Answer: | Most of the time this problem come from the fan let switched on, please ensure that the fan is OFF during the printing. You can always contact [email protected] for further diagnosis. |
Question: | Is a heated build volume recommended? Or will a heated build plate do |
Answer: | Hi there, PolyMax PC can be printed with a heated build plate and enclosed chamber however for large parts it will perform better with a heated chamber. The closer to 80˚C the better to print large parts. >40˚C can already print relatively strong parts. We recommend to anneal the parts right after the printing process for the best mechanical properties. Please do not hesitate to let us know if I can help you with anything:) |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is it RoHS compliant |
Answer: | This is PLA not typical plastic, I Do not know what the RoHS standards are but this is what it is made out of: PLA plastic or polylactic acid is a vegetable-based plastic material, which commonly uses cornstarch as a raw material. This material is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester and it is the primary natural raw material used in 3D printing. PLA is a fully biodegradable thermoplastic polymer consisting of renewable raw materials. |
Question: | Will this fit in a flash forge dreamer 3D printer |
Answer: | As long as the spool is the same size. This is a 1kg spool so it may be larger. The flashforge uses a .6kg. Worst case scenario, you can respool it onto one meant for the flashforge. |
Question: | Is this real chocolate |
Answer: | No, it's plastic... |

Product description
The Gizmo Dorks Polycarbonate filament, also known as PC filament, is a strong thermoplastic material used in 3D printing. Polycarbonate has many uses in everyday applications. It is a good electrical insulator while having heat-resistant properties. Polycarbonate is used in data storage for compact discs, DVD's and Blu-Ray's. It is used in many medical applications as well as for parts in today's advanced phones. It is commonly used in eye protection, and it is used after lamination to make bullet-proof glass.
Polycarbonate filament is such a great 3D material because of it's strength. It is a really strong material while still maintaining temperature resistance. Polycarbonate does not shatter like plexiglass. It tends to bend and deform similar to hard rubber until it eventually breaks. It also has high optical clarity. PC absorbs a lot of moisture in the air. It is a hygroscopic material, and it is best to store in an airtight container when not in use. Even during use the material can become unprintable within a 24 hour print if in a humid environment. Therefore, keeping in an airtight container during printing as well is ideal. Dry filament will print more clear. Filament that has absorbed moisture will print white as well as pop and bubble during the print.
Extruding temperature is generally around 260C, depending on the printer. PC slowly softens when heated, unlike PLA which has a high transition temperature. Slower print speeds are preferred as an increase in temperature is required for faster prints. Polyimide tape (Kapton) should be used on a heated bed, ~120C. Some users prefer applying glue or superglue on a glass bed and then heating to ~120C-130C. Please do not inhale any fumes. Heated up superglue can release toxic fumes, so only use in a well ventilated area.
Size
3mm (2.85mm)
- Printing temperature : 255°C - 300°C depending on part and printer type
- Print speeds : 30mm/s is ideal, can go up to 60 or 80mm/s

Answer: | You would probably have a hard time printing with polycarbonate filament. Polycarbonate should be printed with at least 260 C but the filament likes to be printed closer to the 290 C range. |
Product description
Nylon prints will stick to blue painter's tape. Because Nylon adheres to cellulose surfaces poplar wood can be used as a bed. Nylon will also adhere to cardboard. Nylon also sticks extremely well to machinable garolite, but that may be hard to come by. Users have also said that using a glue stick on a glass bed works well. PVA glues (think of Elmer's white glue all) can also be diluted and applied on with a sponge head. Please use in a well ventilated area or in a closed ventilated system.
- Extrusion Temperature: 230 - 260 C
- Heated Bed: 110 - 145 C helps combat Nylon's warp
- Diameter: 1.75mm +/- 0.03mm
- Net Weight: 200 grams
- Available Colors in 200g Size: Black, Natural, White
Nylon is very hygroscopic. When not in use, please store in an air tight container. Gizmo Dorks has proudly released this filament with a net weight 200 grams. The smaller weight spool allows users to try the filament quality and color before committing to a larger 1 kilogram spool.

User questions & answers
Question: | Do you sell a black nylon filament with a glass or carbon fiber filler? Looking for something ok for ~100-125C max intermittant |
Answer: | @3D-Fuel He obviously knows what extrusion temp you need in order to print this type of filament... He was asking you if there were any filaments that you made or had for sale that is able to withstand up to 125*C Degrees Centigrade with intermittent high and lows between 100 to 125 degrees... So If you see this maybe re-adjust your answer to not look like you just picked out an answer from a hat and went with it. Now to actually answer your question with some common sense and actual knowledge unlike this so-called (Seller); If you look into some Polycarbonate or depending on what it is, some High Temp Nylon 6 or for really rigid or mechanical parts go for some Tulmans Alloy 910 Nylon Filament or some of the best stuff being that or CoTPE or the best of them all IMO is SainSmart CoPA with Pure strength, durability, and Heat deflection up to 180*C which is just cray cray!! But better come prepared because it's not only a powerful filament, It is actually INSANELY EASY TO PRINT WITH!! |
Question: | Do I have to bake the print to get the better thermal/impact resistance? If so what temperature and how long |
Answer: | You DO need to anneal (bake) to get better thermal resistance, but don't need to anneal the prints for better impact resistance than PLA or ABS. However, if you want to increase the impact resistance even further, annealing will double the impact strength. |
Question: | Is this a matte black or glossy once printed |
Answer: | Our Pro PLA is more of a matte finish and is not highly glossy. Sometimes, printing at different temps can produce a more glossy finish. But it is mostly Matte. |
