Fiberlogy R Nylon PA12 antracite 0,75kg

Filament R Nylon PA12 1.75 mm 0.75 kg

Fiberlogy R Nylon PA12 is a filament designed for demanding technical applications requiring a combination of strength, flexibility, and durability. This material is made from recycled raw materials, contributing to more environmentally friendly 3D printing. It offers high resistance to chemicals, temperatures, and mechanical wear. Its low hygroscopicity (ability to absorb moisture) ensures stable printing properties even in changing environmental conditions.

Key Features

Durability and Flexibility

• Heat resistance:
  • Short-term: Up to 135 °C (HDT at 0.45 MPa).
  • Long-term: Recommended maximum temperature 65 °C (continuous use according to UL 746).
• High resistance to chemicals, oils, and greases.
• Exceptional flexibility – filament can elongate up to 200% before breaking.
• Abrasion-resistant, making it suitable for moving parts.

Eco-friendly Production

• Made from recycled materials, reducing environmental impact.
• Suitable for users seeking sustainable solutions in 3D printing.

Easy Printability

• For optimal results and minimal warping, we recommend printing in an enclosed chamber.
• Excellent layer adhesion ensures solid and precise prints, but larger models may require optimised print settings to prevent delamination.

Recommended Print Parameters

• Nozzle temperature: 255–270 °C
• Bed temperature: 100 °C
• Enclosed chamber: Recommended for minimal warping
• Fan speed: 0–10%
• Print speed: 35–60 mm/s
• Build plate surface: Glass with PVA glue or specialised products like Dimafix or 3DLAC for optimal adhesion
• Filament drying: 70 °C for 4 hours

Note: Nylon PA12 is a hygroscopic material. Proper storage and drying before printing are crucial for optimal results.

Technical Specifications

• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
• Diameter tolerance: ±0.02 mm
• Ovality tolerance: +0.01 mm
• Spool weight: 0.75 kg
• Density: 1.01 g/cm³
• Tensile strength at break: 51 MPa
• Tensile modulus: 1400 MPa
• Elongation at break: >200%
• Heat deflection temperature (HDT at 0.45 MPa): 135 °C
• Melting point: 178 °C

Usage Notes

1. Heat resistance up to 135 °C applies to short-term temperature exposure. For long-term load, we recommend maximum 65 °C.
2. An enclosed chamber is not always necessary but significantly helps minimise warping during printing.
3. Nylon PA12 is hygroscopic – store it in a dry place and dry before printing (70 °C for 4 hours).

Important Notice

"Filament availability depends on objective factors such as the amount of raw material available in the market. Therefore, the manufacturer cannot guarantee continuous product availability. The filament may contain traces of glitter and vary in colour intensity due to the raw material used in the given batch."

Applications

R Nylon PA12 is suitable for a wide range of technical and industrial applications:

• Technical parts: Functional machine components exposed to mechanical wear or chemicals.
• Prototypes: Demanding prototypes requiring high dimensional accuracy and strength.
• Moving parts: Components such as bearings or sliding mechanisms due to low friction and wear resistance.
• Industrial applications: Components exposed to thermal stress or aggressive chemicals.

Usage Recommendations

1. Before starting printing, perform test prints to verify optimal retraction settings (2-3 mm for direct extruder; 4-6 mm for Bowden).
2. Use an enclosed chamber to minimise warping during printing.
3. Store the filament in a dry environment or use vacuum packaging with desiccant.
