Bambu has a wonder filament PPA-CF that is stable up to 227 Celsius and has properties that rival and sometimes exceed aluminum. But it’s $150 a kilo!

There are now a few different brands for PPA-CF, all very similar properties, probably many produced by the same suppliers anyway.

Siraya Tech even has a "core" version, where the carbon particles are wrapped inside an outer layer of PPA only, which theoretically gives it better layer adhesion. Also better price at "only" $88 per kilo.

MyTechFun on Youtube has some good comparison videos, I think all 5+ different PPA-CFs he tested hold up to 220°C heat and should be strong enough for most applications like heater ducts.
