I've almost made that exact same mistake (but not on a critical part). I had a bunch of identical rolls with CF loaded filament of different base materials and just looking at the filament you really couldn't tell.




Right...I have loaded the wrong material before.

It didn't take long before I noticed. PLA is super liquid at ABS temps :)

(Not to mention that in my case ABS bed temps would melt the bottom of the PLA)

Oh that could have been quite messy if you had done that unattended.

I've gone through a couple of thousand kg of filament in the last year and I've had some 'interesting' failures.
