The nylon 3D filament is a durable strong printing material that’s not as brittle like PLA or ABS. The nylon filaments are classified as polyamides, a polymer made of amides blended together with peptide bonds. Used in most Fused Deposition Modeling or FDM, Nylon is a good 3D print material and compatible in most 3D printers. The filament is especially strong when used even in high fill setting.
Nylon filament temperature depends on the size or the polymer used. The temp can range from 220° to 280°C. This filament specializes with high strength property, where it’s available in different nylon filament varieties.

Product Description:
Nylon filaments for 3D printing is wear resistant and incredibly flexible for various model projects. Most users prefer using Nylon filaments when printing small parts like gears and fittings. It’s popular filament in 3D printing with it’s strong, resilient, durable and flexible qualities.
Nylon filament originally comes from synthetic copolymer made from polyamides in range of configurations. This is a thermoplastic, which means it can melt into different shapes – a good property that makes it a popular material in 3D printing. Nylon in 3D pritning is often used in creating parts that need to be durable, long-lasting and survive mechanical wear & tear.
These are the instances where standard ABS or PLA won’t be used. Nylon has good layer-to-layer adhesion to provide more strength to the printed object. Using it in extrusion doesn’t emit any unpleasant smell, though it’s recommend that you are printing in an open and well-ventilated area.
There are types of nylon 3D printer filament on the market base on the standard filament material. Besides the mentioned nylon properties, this is hydroscopic, which means it can absorb liquid. This makes it a good option when you like to paint your printed design with a different color than the original color of the filament.
Nylon filament can have considerable warping as compared to traditional PLA or ABS. The required temperature depend on the polymer type or size. Though the average temp ranges from 220°C to 280°C.
If you’re looking for high strength filament material with good durability to flexibility ratio, nylon filament is your best option. This makes it a good choice for functional 3D printed parts such as medical equipment, prosthetics, accessories, fittings connectors, gears, and hinges.
