Reformulated. Retested. Remarkable.

You spoke. We listened.

When our original Obsidian™ CF didn’t meet expectations on Markforged printers, we took your feedback seriously. We went back to the lab and reengineered the formulation from the ground up: refining the material, enhancing processability, and thoroughly testing to ensure it delivers where it counts.

The result: Obsidian™ CF v2 is a dramatically improved carbon
fiber composite that not only meets expectations but exceeds them.

  • Improved mechanical performance
  • Enhanced reliability and consistency
  • Tested across Markforged and open-source printers.


In side-by-side comparisons, Obsidian™ CF v2 is now a true one-to-one alternative to Markforged’s Onyx, but at a better value.

“Obsidian V2 shows a major step forward and is the best Onyx alternative I have seen.”

“Printability-wise, it is definitely as printable as Onyx if not more so. This is by far the best option for PA6+CF material for the Bambu Lab machines, over actual Onyx.”

“This Gen 2 Obsidian works very well on our MF machines. It looks identical to Onyx.”

COMPARISON CONCLUSION

Obsidian V2 has the most consistent properties across all 3 printers which seems to show that it has consistent crystallization regardless of speed and can get Onyx level strength on any printer, not just Markforged.
