3D printing filament Fiberlogy Nylon PA12 + GF15 1.75 mm 0.5 kg — Black

Fiberlogy Nylon PA12 + GF15 1.75 mm 0.5 kg — Black is a reinforced 3D printing filament based on PA12 nylon with 15% glass fiber content. Supplied on a 0.5 kg spool with 1.75 mm diameter, this black filament is formulated to deliver higher stiffness, improved dimensional stability and greater wear resistance compared with unfilled nylon. It is intended for printing functional prototypes, mechanical parts and durable components that require increased strength and thermal performance.

Advantages

The glass fiber reinforcement increases Young's modulus and reduces part deformation, making printed parts more rigid and stable under load. The PA12 matrix provides good thermal resistance and chemical resistance typical for nylons, while the 15% glass fiber loading improves surface hardness and wear characteristics. The filament is suitable for producing parts that need to retain shape and tolerances during service and machining.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and small series of mechanical parts
• Gears, brackets, housings and fixtures that need higher stiffness
• Wear-resistant components and sliding parts
• Applications requiring improved dimensional stability and thermal resistance

Key specifications

• Material: PA12 nylon with 15% glass fiber reinforcement
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Spool weight: 0.5 kg
• Color: Black
• Mechanical properties: increased stiffness and wear resistance compared with unfilled PA12
• Thermal behaviour: improved thermal resistance suitable for functional parts

How to use

Use this filament in FDM/FFF 3D printers equipped to handle nylon composites and abrasive-filled materials. Recommended printing settings should be defined for your specific machine and hotend: use an appropriate nozzle material (hardened steel or coated nozzle) to resist abrasion from glass fibers, set nozzle temperature and print bed conditions compatible with PA12, and ensure good adhesion via a heated build plate or suitable adhesion aids. Dry the filament before printing if it has absorbed moisture to avoid print defects and reduced mechanical properties.

Usage recommendations

Store the filament in a dry, low-humidity environment and dry according to manufacturer's guidance before printing. Use a hardened nozzle to avoid increased wear. Tune cooling and print speed to balance surface finish and mechanical performance; limited part post-processing such as light sanding or machining may be used to achieve required tolerances.
