Any reason why you chose cf filament for this? Seems like it's not under any stress that would need the tougher filament. Just curious I have yet to print in a cf filament.
100% no reason other than testing and to see if it would work and the result. It's surprisingly strong, less flex on this print than same w regular petg. Just for funsies

This one is 250% or 300% scale, I don't remember what I did in the slicer last night lol - but it scales well, the normal size is a great toothpick holder
Sat in dry box for 4h preprint and feeds from the dryer directly. Made it a super fast print (for me at least) 75mm/sec with an 0.8 nozzle.
I'd printed a couple of these smaller for friends and one asked for a pencil cup sized one... but at that point in my learning it still would've been ~23h at this size... this one was done in 9 and for this purpose is OK

Looks great! Can you share the STL?

Thanks! I'll give it a go tomorrow. At 'toothpick holders' dimensions it probably be finished really quick. :-)
Will increase the size, thanks for the heads-up.
Here's 100% vs whatever size I printed this one for reference https://files.catbox.moe/248u0b.jpg
It looks super stringy, did you dry the PETG first? I like the result though.
