- Higher toughness - Higher toughness
- Higher temp resistance - Higher temp resistance
- Durable but brittle - Durable but brittle
### PA-CF (Carbon Fiber Nylon)
- Very stiff
- Less warping
- High friction
- High end printer required
### PA-GF (Glass Filled Nylon)
- Used in the real world (handguns, chainsaws)
- More affordable than PA-CF
- Much stiffer, tougher, and more resistant to heat and abrasion than vanilla nylon.
- Greatly reduced warping
- Fairly easy to print
- Still requires a high-end printer (tungsten carbide or gemstone nozzle, abrasion resistant drive gears)
- Durable enough to act as a viable alternative to machined aluminum
### PA-PETG (Nylon PET alloy)
Often called tough PETG or low temp nylon, PA-PETG is meant to serve as bo
