carbon fiber filament just has tiny chobbed fibers in it to stabilize the material. it's not really a strength additive, definitely not in the way an actual woven sheet is. and you can't always tell if a printed part is CF filament or not, though you often can have a good idea
Whoever made this should have just covered it in fiberglass, or used it to make a mold for a stronger material.
But I guess The point of this whole thing is that whoever made this was definitely not qualified!
