Polymaker PolyMide PA6-GF Grey, 2.85 mm / 2000 g

PolyMide ™ PA6-GF is a glass fibre reinforced PA6 filament (nylon 6). The material has excellent thermal and mechanical properties without affecting the layer adhesion.

Recommended print settings:

• Nozzle temperature: 280 - 300 ° C
• Heating bed temperature: 25 - 50 ° C (do not exceed 50 ° C)
• Installation space temperature: 25 - 50 ° C (do not exceed 50 ° C)
• Printing speed: 60 mm / s
• Fan: OFF

The print settings are based on a printer with a 0.4 mm nozzle and are reference values only.

Print bed

PolyMide ™ PA6-GF can be printed on almost any surface with a thin layer of PVA adhesive or Magigoo PA. We recommend a flexplate to facilitate removal of the model from the plate.

Nozzle

PolyMide ™ PA6-GF contains 25% chopped glass fibres, which makes it very abrasive. It is important to use an abrasion resistant nozzle.

PolyMide ™ PA6-GF can easily damage a brass nozzle after several hundred grams of printing. Hardened nozzles are more expensive than conventional brass nozzles. Therefore, it is important to consider the amount of materials to use.

Hot-End

Polymaker recommends a full-metal hot-end that maintains a stable temperature of at least 280 ° C.

Annealing the components

Polymaker recommends curing all models made with PolyMide ™ PA6-GF. This allows the user to utilize the full mechanical and thermal properties of this material. During annealing, the model is placed in an oven at 90 ° C for 2 hours.
