    “carbon fiber” filament usually has little shards of carbon fibers suspended in it. This makes the part less flexible than raw ABS…when cool. It’s not like they do a layup of carbon fiber over 3D printed ABS, that would almost defeat the purpose.

    If they’d done that, 3D print a mold or buck and then do a carbon layup over it, it’d be made of epoxy, which doesn’t melt.
