Description
NYLON PA12
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:
Bed temperature: ~100 ?C
Nozzle temperature: 255-270 ?C
Plus ALWAYS keep your filaments (especially Nylon based) dry. The recommended drying temperature for this material is 70°C for 4h. Check out an in-depth drying article here at All3DP
Nylon
Overview
Highly durable, flexible material.
Nylon has high impact and abrasion resistance; offering a high amount of tensile strength whilst also being a flexible material. It is one of the most heat-stable filaments, remaining unchanged in high temperature environments.
It is hygroscopic, meaning that the filament will absorb moisture easily which will cause prints to warp and fail. This can be circumvented by keeping the filament in an air-tight, dry environment. Nylon can warp easily; depending on the printer and slicer used, some trial and error may be needed to prevent this. Printed items will degrade from UV radiation if left in sunlight for long periods of time.
Used for: Gears, Screws, and Cable ties.
Some manufacturers provide PA6 & PA12 Nylons, PA12 has increased moisture stability and is more resistant to moisture absorption. The same applies to Nylon 66 compared to Nylon 6.
