AB  - To fully exploit the preponderance of three-dimensional (3D)-printed, continuous, 
      fiber-reinforced, thermoplastic composites (CFRTPCs) and self-reinforced 
      composites (which exhibit excellent interfacial affinity and are fully 
      recyclable), an approach in which continuous fiber self-reinforced composites 
      (CFSRCs) can be fabricated by 3D printing is proposed. The influence of 
      3D-printing temperature on the mechanical performance of 3D-printed CFSRCs based 
      on homogeneous, continuous, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) 
      fibers and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) filament, utilized as a reinforcing 
      phase and matrix, respectively, was studied. Experimental results showed a 
      qualitative relationship between the printing temperature and the mechanical 
      properties. The ultimate tensile strength, as well as Young's modulus, were 300.2 
      MPa and 8.2 GPa, respectively. Furthermore, transcrystallization that occurred in 
      the process of 3D printing resulted in an interface between fibers and the 
      matrix. Finally, the recyclability of 3D-printed CFSRCs has also been 
      demonstrated in this research for potential applications of green composites.
