Devil Design Nylon (PA12) natural

Filament PA12 (nylon 12, semi-crystalline polyamide) from the Polish manufacturer Devil Design is a variant of nylon, which has proven to be the only variant for printing mechanically stressed parts, including 3D printer parts. It stands out for its high strength, durability, resistance to high temperatures, good chemical resistance and flexibility without disturbing the structure.

It is a material with a wide range of applications, popular in industry and gaining a strong foothold in 3D printing, including FDM.

The material is recommended to be printed only by experienced printers and in a heated chamber. For printing more complex shapes it is recommended to use special printing surfaces such as garolite(g10,g11) or special adhesives designed specifically for nylon. Commonly used adhesives and printing surfaces are usually not sufficient.

Its disadvantage is that it is a highly hygroscopic material, so it easily absorbs moisture from the environment, which must be taken into account when storing it and possibly using a filament dryer after prolonged exposure to air.

The filament is wound on a spool, vacuum packed with a moisture absorber

Properties:

• High durability
• High strength
• High temperature resistance
• Good chemical resistance
• Hygroscopic material (quickly absorbs moisture from the environment)
• Low material creep 

Recommendations for printing Voron parts:

• Printing temperature: 260°C (all-metal hot-end required)
• Chamber temperature: 50°C+ 
• Printing surface: garolite(g10,g11), special adhesives for nylon (e.g. Magigoo) 
• Pad temperature: 110°C
• Cooling: 0-40%
