Polymaker PolyMide PA12-CF in Black, 1.75MM, .5KG PA12-CF provides a higher interlayer adhesion compared to unreinforced PA 12. PolyMide PA12-CF is a carbon fiber reinforced PA12 (Nylon 12) filament. Due to the low moisture sensitivity of PA12, this product features outstanding mechanical and thermal properties even after the moisture conditioning process. With its ease of print with Warp-Free technology, this product is ideal in creating manufacturing tools. Printing Settings Don't waste your time fiddling with settings, and get printing right away. Check out our pre-tested print settings below to get started printing with your brand new filament even faster. Some settings may change slightly depending on your 3D printer. Hotend Temperature: 260˚C - 300˚C Bed Temperature: 25˚C - 50˚C Print Speed: 30mm/s - 60mm/s Fan: Off For Direct Drive Extruders Retraction Distance: 3mm Retraction Speed: 40mm/s For Indirect Drive Extruders Retraction Distance: 6mm Retraction Speed: 60mm/s Drying Settings (Only if the material has absorbed moisture) 80˚C for 12h in a regular oven Level 3 for 18h in the PolyDryer Annealing Settings: 80˚ for 6h Polymaker PolyMide PA12-CF Details: Fiber Adhesion Technology Fiber Adhesion Technology dramatically improves the Z-axis strength by engineering the surface chemistry of the fibers to achieve a strong fiber and matrix bonding. In contrast to conventional fiber-reinforced filaments, which exhibit considerable reduction in Z-axis strength, the PolyMide PA12-CF has a higher interlayer adhesion in comparison to the unreinforced PA12. Wear Resistant Nozzle Recomendation The PolyMide PA12-CF consists of 10% chopped glass fibers by weight which makes it abrasive. It is important to have an abrasion resistant nozzle to avoid damage to your nozzle. A hardened nozzle is highly recommended while using this filament. Bed Surface Although Polymide PA12-CF can be printed on almost any surface with a thin coat of PVA glue or Magigoo PA, it comes highly recommended that while using the Polymaker Polymide PA12-CF, a flex plate is used for an easy removal of the model from the plate. Dry Box System PolyMide PA12-CF is a polyamide 6 based material which means that it is susceptible to absorbing moisture from the atmosphere which can subsequently affect the quality and mechanical properties of the final prints. If the filament has absorbed moisture it can be dried at 80˚C for 12 hours in a convection oven.
