Material was CF-ABS

Except that it wasn't, it's just what "the owner understood from the vendor". But the AAIB measured the Tg of material samples to be about 53 °C, which is very low and strongly suggests it being PLA or PLA-CF.

I wonder if he was erroneously sold a demonstrator part?

Looks like either CF loaded ABS or PLA, the difference is super hard to tell visually but given that they determined that particular temp my bet would be PLA because even PETG would be higher.

>> Material was CF-ABS

With a glass transition temp of 105C.

And yet "Two samples from the air induction elbow were subjected to testing, using a heat-flux differential scanning calorimeter, to determine their glass transition temperature. The measured glass transition temperature for the first sample was 52.8°C, and 54.0°C for the second sample."

Which is not coincidentally roughly the Tg of PLA.
