3D Printing with Nylon
Nylon is a tough and semi-flexible material that offers high impact and abrasion resistance. It is an ideal choice for printing durable parts.
Applications
- Plastic Gears
- Cable ties
- Nuts, Bolts, Screws
Printing Guildelines
- Typical melting temperature: 225-265°C
- Typical softening temperature: 70°C
- Print surface: PEI, Glue Stick
- Bed temperature: 70-90 °C
Pros
- Tough and partially flexible
- High impact resistance
- No unpleasant odor while printing
- Good abrasion resistance
Cons
- Prone to Warping
- Air-tight storage required to prevent water absorption
- Improperly dried filaments can cause printing defects
- Not suitable for moist and humid environments
