ABS with CF will most probably ruin your printer (unless you have an all-steel hotend). Carbon fibers are highly abrasive, maybe even to a metal hotend.
And I've heard the ABS with CF isn't worth much - very brittle stuff. But no first-hand experience there from me
I am in fact building a bigger Ultimaker over christmas, but (for now) it's just bigger, but doesn't have a bigger build volume

Yes, it´s really easy to print with PLA, but the printed parts aren´t good for mechanical parts and higher temperatures.
So, for our multicopters we need more engineering plastics like PA6, PC, POM, PETG, ABS with CF.
Will get an ABS with 15% carbon fiber maybe in the next weeks, can´t wait to test it. But, I must to print also with PA6 and PC at this time and I think, will test to print it with an ABS-glue on my glass plate.
And what is with your bigger ultimaker Jonny? It´s ready? Can you maybe show a pic of your printer?
Will get the rest of my printer parts in the next days and want to build up my bigger ultimaker.
