Could you test if their hobbed gear is really heat treated ? That is hardened and a hacksaw or a chinese file should not bite into it.
I have no intention to ruin my perfect working extruder
I don't know if it is hardened steel (it is certainly steel) and frankly I don't really care as long as it is doing it's job...

The test is non destructive.
Just that I am tired of all the false claims from these people.
And a sharp, hardened steel hobbgear is a plus.

Agree in general terms, if the sell apples, you should receive apples.
However the hobbed drive gear should push the filamente "by having a reasonable amount of grip on it".
If you need the drive gear to voraciously bite into the filament
, probably there is too much friction/pressure in the hotend and something is wrong elsewhere... e.g. low temp.
Also we should all bear in mind that if on bowden, biting the filament could increase friction in the tube.
am I wrong?

Ended up being about £47 with shipping and VAT so still a pricey roll of filament, but then the XL kossel now has water cooling, titanium heatbreak (from Well-Engineered) and a tungsten nozzle. So it seems a shame to print boring old PLA/ABS with it, not exotic enough

I hate VAT! we brits need to start a campaign to get 3DP exempt from the vat man, start comparing prices with our merican cousins feels like we being robbed 
when you add watercooling bit posh that is,, that on a V6 or a titan aero?

Carbon fibre PETG Benchy - actually looks better in real life. Stronger - no, stiffer - yes, does a good job of looking engineered and hiding the layer lines, to the human eye at least - yes. Less stringy than regular petg, smells like Amphora that's in Ngen, but prints better.

lookin good I strained an eye looking for the layersQuote

, what layer height you testing with? I thought it would be stronger than the normal stuff, was thinking the whole point of carbon filaments was an increase in strength.... you taking snaps of the hobbed gear with each print we looking for that degradation or not, once the fleet finished.

I'm using 0.2mm layers. No haven't snapped the hobbed gear, but using nimble so will ask Brian and Lykle if it's hardened SS or not. And how much a spare one is.
Apparently it's not stronger as the CF strands aren't long enough, and they don't span layers (even markforged continuous cf doesn't span layers), but for a layer hiding material it's half the price of ngen lux.
Spool tare weight was 996g so its 1kg Inc spool

I have a spool of black PLA. It seems to contain carbon too, but in the shape of cole dust... the surface looks as dull and unspecific as yours

Didn't test one, but I have bought a number of products from them and all work as advertised (up till now 
)
