Nylon filament is incredibly strong and therefore perfectly suited for high strength products!

Color: Transparent

Nylon filament is a light, flexible and most important strong filament with excellent pressure resistive capabilities. Nylon filament is therefore well suited for products which demand high toughness while keeping flexibility.

Nylon is not just a material, it consists of a group of synthetic polymers all with their own properties. The Nylon filament is created by using Nylon PA6. We can deliver the filament in 7 different colors and both in 1.75 or 3.00 mm diameters (maximum tolerance of 0.05 mm).

Pro’s and Con’s of Nylon:

+ Incredibly strong

+ Odorless during printing

- 3D-Printer requires a powerful heated bed (>110^oC)

- Very high nozzle temperature required (>250^oC)

- Susceptible to quick warping

- Air tight storage required

3D-Printing Nylon Filament

Nylon Filament is quite difficult to 3D-print but with our tested settings explained on the Nylon Filament 3D-printer Settings page you should be able to print nylon filament at a good quality. Here you will find all the necessary information and proper 3D-Printer settings to start printing successful 3D-Prints with HIPS 3D-Printer filament.

Other specific informational topics about this product can be found under the tab ‘’Specifications’’ under the product picture.
