Abrasive Filament

This filament contains abrasive particles. Use a wear-resistant nozzle such as hardened steel, ruby, or tungsten carbide. Standard brass nozzles will wear down rapidly.

Carbon Fibre Reinforced

This filament is reinforced with chopped carbon fibre, adding rigidity and a distinctive matte finish. Prints will be stiffer and lighter than the unfilled base material, but less flexible.

Spool Design

Spool design may vary from images shown, all filament is provided on plastic spools.

PA12-CF (Carbon Fibre reinforced Nylon 12) filament pairs the low moisture absorption of PA12 with carbon fibre's stiffness for a well-balanced, high-performance engineering material. It delivers strong, fatigue-resistant parts with a smooth surface finish and is easier to handle than PA6-CF. Suitable for demanding functional applications including snap-fits, end-use brackets, and lightweight structural components. Dry storage is recommended.

Store your filament in an airtight container or sealed bag with silica gel packets to prevent moisture absorption. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain print quality and extend its lifespan.
These issues typically indicate moisture in the filament. You can resolve this by drying the filament using a food dehydrator or dedicated filament dryer. Proper storage in an airtight container will help prevent moisture absorption in the future.
Ensure your print bed is clean and properly leveled. A good first layer is crucial for print success. Start with the recommended temperature settings for your printer and adjust if needed based on your results.
Common signs of wet filament include popping or crackling sounds during printing, excessive stringing between parts, poor layer adhesion, and rough surface quality. If you notice these issues, try drying your filament before printing.
Keep your filament dry and properly stored, maintain a level print bed, and ensure your printer is properly calibrated. Start with recommended settings and make small adjustments to temperature and print speed based on your results.
