3D printing filament Fiberlogy Nylon PA12 + CF15 1.75 mm 0.5 kg – Black (Nylon Black CF15)

Fiberlogy Nylon PA12 + CF15 1.75 mm is a composite 3D printing filament that combines PA12 nylon with 15% carbon fiber reinforcement. Delivered on a 0.5 kg spool in black, this filament is formulated to produce stronger and stiffer printed parts with improved dimensional stability, reduced warping and enhanced wear resistance compared to unfilled nylon. It is designed for use on FDM/FFF printers that accept nylon-based materials and a 1.75 mm filament diameter.

Advantages

The carbon fiber reinforcement increases tensile stiffness and surface hardness while maintaining the chemical and thermal resistance properties of PA12. The formulation reduces shrinkage and improves dimensional repeatability, resulting in more accurate functional prototypes and mechanical components. The black coloration provides consistent visual finish for parts where uniform appearance is required.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and test parts that require higher stiffness
• Mechanical components: gears, brackets, housings and fixtures
• Small-series production and end-use parts with improved wear resistance
• Applications where improved dimensional stability and reduced warping are important

Key specifications

• Base material: PA12 (polyamide 12) with carbon fiber reinforcement
• Carbon fiber content: 15% by weight
• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
• Spool weight: 0.5 kg
• Color: Black
• Recommended printing technology: FDM / FFF

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm spool into a printer that supports nylon-based materials and abrasive-filled filaments; use a hardened steel or coated nozzle to avoid accelerated wear. Set nozzle temperature according to the printer and filament manufacturer's recommended range for PA12 composite materials and adjust bed temperature and enclosure settings to minimise warping. Print with moderate cooling or reduced fan settings to preserve interlayer adhesion. Ensure proper filament drying before printing to avoid moisture-related defects.

Usage recommendations

Dry filament at the recommended temperature and duration for composite nylons prior to printing, use an abrasive-resistant nozzle, and consider a closed or heated build chamber to achieve best dimensional accuracy and layer bonding when printing functional parts.
