Fiberlogy Nylon (PA12) Natural 2,5 kg
Fiberlogy Nylon (PA12) Natural 2,5 kg
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.
As the only nylon variant, it has also proven itself in printing functional, mechanically stressed 3D printer parts due to PA12's low material creep. More

Fiberlogy Nylon (PA12) 2.5 kg Spool
The PA12 (nylon 12, semi-crystalline polyamide) filament from the reliable Polish manufacturer Fiberlogy is a variant of nylon that has proven to be the only option for printing mechanically stressed parts, including parts for 3D printers. It excels in high strength, durability, resistance to high temperatures, good chemical resistance, and flexibility without compromising structure.
It is a material with a wide range of uses, popular in industry and increasingly used in 3D printing, including FDM.
The material is recommended for printing by experienced printers only and in a heated chamber. For printing more complex shapes, it is recommended to use special print surfaces such as garolite (g10, g11) or special adhesives specifically designed for nylon. Commonly used adhesives and print surfaces are usually not sufficient.
Its drawback is that it is a highly hygroscopic material, so it easily absorbs moisture from the environment, which must be taken into account when storing and possibly using a filament dryer after prolonged exposure to air.
