Nexaforge 3D Filament PA6-CF Nylon 1.75mm 1kg
Who is this for & what problem does it solve?
Ideal for: Mechanical engineers, automotive enthusiasts, and industrial makers printing functional parts - gears, brackets, cable guides, jigs, and load-bearing fixtures.
Problem solved: PLA warps under heat and breaks under impact; PETG lacks the rigidity for tight-tolerance parts. PA6 Nylon offers high heat resistance (180�C+), superior toughness, and low friction - critical for parts that move, flex, or carry load.
Best used with: All-metal hotend (250-270�C), enclosure required, dry filament storage mandatory to prevent moisture absorption.
Professional-grade 3D printing filament by Nexaforge - engineered for consistent extrusion, vibrant color, and reliable prints every time.
- Diameter: 1.75mm +/-0.02mm precision-wound for clog-free printing
- Universal compatibility: Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Ender, Anycubic and all FDM printers
- Vacuum-sealed packaging - moisture-free delivery for optimal print quality
- Consistent color - uniform pigmentation throughout the entire spool

Frequently Asked Questions - PA6 Nylon Filament
Is Nylon hard to print? Will it warp badly?
PA6 Nylon is one of the more demanding engineering filaments - warping and moisture absorption are its two main challenges. An enclosure is required to maintain ambient temperature above 45�C and prevent warping on large parts. Bed adhesion: PEI or garolite sheet recommended. Most importantly, store and dry your filament before printing - Nylon absorbs moisture within hours of being exposed to air, causing bubbling, weak layers, and stringing.
Does it need an all-metal hotend?
Yes - PA6 prints at 250-270�C, which is above the safe operating limit for PTFE-lined hotends. An all-metal hotend is mandatory (Bambu Lab X1/P1 series, Prusa MK4, Mosquito, Dragon, etc.). A hardened steel nozzle is not required - brass handles unfilled Nylon fine.
How heat-resistant is PA6 Nylon?
PA6 has a heat deflection temperature of 180�C+ - far exceeding PLA (60�C) and PETG (80�C). This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive parts, industrial jigs and fixtures, high-load brackets, and any application where sustained elevated temperatures would destroy other plastics.
How strong is it compared to PLA and PETG?
PA6 tensile strength: ~75-85MPa - roughly 50-70% stronger than PLA. More importantly, it has superior toughness (energy absorbed before fracture), low friction coefficient (excellent for gears and moving parts), and fatigue resistance. It flexes before it breaks, unlike brittle PLA.
What are the recommended print settings?
Nozzle: 250-270�C | Bed: 70-90�C (garolite preferred) | Speed: 30-50mm/s | Cooling fan: 0-20% | Enclosure: Required | Drying: 80�C for 8-12 hours before printing. Store in sealed container with desiccant.
What if my print fails?
Nylon failures are almost always moisture or enclosure related. Dry the filament first (80�C / 8h), ensure your enclosure holds above 45�C, and verify your hotend is all-metal.
