What is Nylon filament?
Nylon (Polyamide, PA6, PA12) is a technical filament with high strength, wear resistance and stiffness. Suitable for functional parts - gears, sliding guides, machine components.
Why Nylon is special
Nylon has the combination of strength, toughness and slipperiness that makes it ideal for moving mechanical parts. Resists abrasion. Disadvantage: highly hygroscopic - absorbs moisture and crackles when printing.
Printing parameters
- Nozzle: 250-270 °C (up to 280 for PA12-CF)
- Bed: 70-90 °C
- Enclosure: recommended
- Drying: REQUIRED (8-12 h at 80 °C)
- Nozzle: hardened steel for carbon variants
Variants
Pure Nylon (PA6, PA12), Nylon CF (with carbon, even stronger), Nylon GF (glass). CF variants need hardened nozzle.
