EVOLUTION OF DURABILITY
Thanks to its resistance to high temperatures, alcohol and chemicals, Nylon is particularly useful for mechanical and technical applications. It is extremely durable, strong and unbreakable. It is easily machined with tools designed for metal processing and it is also easily painted, which makes it even more versatile and functional.
It is incredibly flexible – it expands by 50% before it breaks. However, it is not resistant to concentrated alkalis and acids.
APPLICATION:
Mechanical parts: guides, gears (cog wheels)
Technical components: slide bearings, nuts
PROPERTIES:
High resistance to high temperatures and chemical compounds
High flexibility
Resistant to abrasion
HOW TO PRINT:
The following parameters are only suggested print settings for this material. To ensure the best print quality, it is necessary to choose the appropriate settings for a specific printer and printing conditions.
Nozzle Temperature | 255-270°C |
Bed Temperature | 90-110°C |
Closed chamber | required |
Fan | 0-10% |
Flowrate | 95-105% |
Printing Speed | 35-60 mm/s |
Surface | glass, PVA glue, hairspray |
Retraction (direct) | 2-3 mm |
Retraction (bowden) | 4-6 mm |
Retraction Speed | 20-45 mm/s |
Drying conditions | 70°C / 4h |
Print Surface | Material Properties | Bed Temp | Adhesives / Release Agents |
---|---|---|---|
Glass / Borosilicate Glass | Poor adhesion | 90°C – 110°C | Magigoo PA needed |
Ceramic Glass | Poor adhesion | 90°C – 110°C | Magigoo PA needed |
Textured PEI Glass | Good adhesion | 90°C – 110°C | Magigoo PA needed |
Smooth PEI Spring Steel Sheet | Poor adhesion | 90°C – 110°C | Magigoo PA needed |
Textured PEI Spring Steel Sheet | Good adhesion | 90°C – 110°C | Magigoo PA needed |
Nylon PA12 is very hygroscopic. it must be stored in an airtight container and ideally dried before printing. an enclosed print chamber is highly recommended.
