RS PRO 1.75mm Black Nylon 3D Printer Filament, 500g

RS 3D Printer Filament NYLON

PA12 NYLON is a high performance polyamide filament which natural colour is crystal clear. The polymer nylon PA12 is widely used in the automotive, machinery and engineering industry since it combines mechanical strength, flexibility, transparency, UV resistance and superior chemical resistance. PA12 NYLON is easy to print, has a high impact strength, even at low temperatures, a very high glass transition temperature and has a low water absorption compared with other polyamides which leaves the mechanical properties unaffected. PA12 NYLON is the filament to print objects with a top performance

Strong & flexible
Crystal clear natural colour
Superior chemical and UV resistance
Low water absorption

Once you’ve purchased your filament it’s important to store it correctly to maintain its quality. Over time the plastic will absorb moisture from the air, creating small water bubbles in the filament. These bubbles when heated in the extruder nozzle will quickly reach boiling point, spoiling the print. The use of desiccant dehumidifiers to absorb the moisture is highly recommend

Note

PA12 NYLON is available in nearly any type of packaging and labelling, but will be supplied always in a vacuum bag, due to the moisture sensitivity of PA12 NYLON.
PA12 NYLON will not bond to glass, but adheres well to masonite, poplar wood or blue painters tape. PA12 NYLON can be used on most common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers
