Description
Nylon 6 reinforced with carbon or glass fiber.
Common use cases
Structural brackets, robotic components, machine fixtures, gears, and tool mounts.
Advantages
High stiffness and strength; good dimensional stability; reduced warping compared with unfilled nylon.
Disadvantages
Very moisture-sensitive; abrasive; more brittle than unfilled nylon; rougher surfaces; requires careful layer orientation.
Printing tips and recommendations
Use a hardened 0.6 mm nozzle and dry very thoroughly; print directly from a heated dry box when possible. Use a warm chamber, strong bed adhesion, and conservative cooling. Orient layers around the load path because fiber reinforcement improves in-plane stiffness more than Z-axis strength.
X2D guidance
Among the most capable materials for the X2D. Use a hardened 0.6 mm nozzle, dry thoroughly, and print from a dry-feed system.
Support-material guidance
Support for PA/PET (preferred interface); matching reinforced nylon for ordinary supports; hardened nozzle and dry-feed required.
