The biggest SCAM in 3D Printing? How filament stores try to trick you with carbonfiber "reinforced"
In this video, we put the claims of filament manufacturers to the test!
Does carbonfiber reinforced filament live up to the promises or is it just clever marketing? Is it worth the extra money you spend on it ? Using professional testing equipment, we compared ultimate tensile strength in 3 different directions to answer one of the biggest "myths" in 3D Printing. Will carbon fiber filament live up to the hype? Watch to find out!

Additional disclaimer:
A user made me aware that there is a possibility of misunderstanding in the video:
I of course used the correct and optimal slicing settings for each material. Me saying "just changing the material" meant that I did not change the position or orientation.
Thanks to @tinkerman-q for pointing this out.
