I have some Fiberology PA12+CF15 blend (link) from a long time ago and recently got around to using it. I am amazed to say the least! It prints easier than PETG, even without an enclosure. Only downside is that it is much more expensive per kg, although it is lower density so I don't seem to be going through it as quickly as other filaments.

I recently purchased some PC Blend with CF from Prusa as well. I haven't gotten to print it yet, but I've heard very good things about it, too.

What less common filaments do you fine folks like using?

100% PHA! It's better structurally than PLA in a lot of ways, it's fully biodegradable in any biome, and it's just got a really pleasant feel to it

Interesting, that's a new one to me. I'll have to check it out.

Same for me. My favorite Austrian shop lists it as PLA / PHA with the note 100% biodegradable.

Have you tried PCTG. It’s really great too if you need something more durable
