Nylon FX256 | Fillamentum

This advanced high-tech material made from polyamide 12 retains its excellent mechanical properties under a wide range of temperatures (-40 up to 140°C!). It has a remarkable interlayer adhesion and keeps quite flexible properties in thin layers. It is a good choice for printing functional and technical items because of its low friction coefficient and exceptional thermal resistance. It's a tough material that can withstand a variety of chemicals, including automotive fluids. It has been approved for use in food contact applications. Thanks to its electrical insulation qualities, it can be used as an electrical connector, unraveling another field of application.

How to store filaments

Humidity and UV light can decrease the filament quality and weaken its mechanical properties. We strongly recommend storing open filaments in a dry and dark place. You can find a complete guide on how to properly store your filament here

Where to throw print fails and supports?

We kindly ask our customers to cope with plastic waste responsibly. Failed prints, support material, rafts, or brims should be liquidated according to the local guidelines. Paradoxically, in most cases, it is better to throw this waste in the regular trash can, as most of the material waste created in 3D printing is not identified, which causes more problems than benefits in the waste sorting facilities.

General information about Nylon :

PA (polyamide) describes a group of polymers with an amide repeat unit. Generally in the FDM industry, there are 3 main types of PA which include PA12, PA66, and PA6.

Sometimes these materials can be either grafted with other polymers or else reinforced with glass or carbon fibers. Generally, nylons exhibit high strength, toughness, elasticity, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and thermal resistance and are widely sought in various industrial applications.

Nylon filaments prove to be challenging materials for FDM printing due to their lower
adhesion to conventional 3D-printing build surfaces and their higher tendency to warp.
Furthermore, there are several classes of PA filaments each behaving differently.

Who is Fillamentum for?

Choose PLA Extrafill when colour and surface quality matter – for models, prototypes and decorations. CPE HG100 is a tougher, easy-to-print alternative to PETG for functional parts. The Flexfill range covers flexible parts from soft to semi-rigid, and the nylon grades suit wear-resistant mechanical parts; remember to dry nylon before printing.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Fillamentum made?

Fillamentum is a Czech brand. Its filaments are exported to more than 62 countries around the world.

What is CPE HG100?

CPE is a copolyester related to PETG. It was developed for users who want more toughness than PETG while keeping easy printing with no warping.

Which Flexfill should I choose?

The number in the name is the Shore hardness: the lower the number, the softer and more elastic the part. Flexible filaments print best slowly, ideally with a direct-drive extruder.
