eSun PA-HT CF - nylon and CF in a 290C extrusion temp mix. My biggest problem is that I've never managed to get the support settings right so supports tend to be structurally bonded to the part and require a dremel to remove.
The other is the eSun PA-LW, which I haven't found a good use for yet because it's so @#$@#%$%@ oozy that it pretty much only produces a decent part when in spiral mode. Makes fantastically light parts though.
What is PA-LW like as far as hardness?
It isn’t. Think if the densest polyurethane foam you’ve encountered and then double it. I can dent it with my fingernail (takes some pressure, but it leaves a mark). Not sure if you’re familiar with the old glassine Estes rocket tubes (thin, quality cardboard, about 0.3-0.4mm) - but for structural integrity/stiffness it’s about like that in a 0.6mm single wall tube if the same diameter.
