Filament Fiberlogy Nylon PA12+GF15 1.75 mm 0.5 kg spool — Light Green

Filament Fiberlogy Nylon PA12+GF15 1.75 mm is a light green, glass-fiber reinforced polyamide filament supplied on a 0.5 kg spool for FDM/FFF 3D printers using 1.75 mm filament. The PA12 base combined with 15% glass fiber increases stiffness and dimensional stability compared with standard nylon, producing parts that better resist deformation and maintain shape under load. The material is intended for functional prototypes and mechanical components where improved strength, reduced creep and better dimensional repeatability are required.

Advantages

The glass fiber reinforcement provides higher tensile stiffness, improved wear resistance and reduced thermal shrinkage compared with unfilled nylon. The filament's 1.75 mm diameter and factory-wound 0.5 kg spool ensure consistent feeding for most desktop FDM/FFF printers. Light green colour offers good visual identification of parts and can be post-processed by standard methods suitable for polyamides. Overall, the material balances mechanical performance and processability for engineering applications.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and proof-of-concept models requiring higher stiffness
• Mechanical parts: gears, brackets, housings and fixtures
• Components exposed to moderate mechanical loads and wear
• Applications demanding improved dimensional stability and reduced warping

• Spool weight: 0.5 kg of usable filament
• Colour: Light green
• Intended printing technology: FDM/FFF
• Mechanical profile: increased stiffness and dimensional stability versus unfilled PA

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm filament into a compatible FDM/FFF 3D printer and set extrusion temperature, print speed and cooling according to the manufacturer's general guidance for glass-filled polyamides. Use a hardened steel or abrasion-resistant nozzle to reduce wear caused by glass fibers. Ensure the filament is dry before printing and store the spool in a dry container or desiccant-sealed bag when not in use to minimise moisture uptake. Adjust bed adhesion methods and print settings to compensate for the reduced warping and increased stiffness compared to standard nylon.

Usage recommendations

Recommend using a hardened nozzle, drying the filament before printing, moderate extrusion temperatures, and controlled cooling. Validate print parameters on small test specimens before producing critical parts and avoid applications demanding high impact resistance or very high elongation, as glass-filled nylon improves stiffness at the expense of ductility.
