Material & Compatibility Information

PA6 Low Warp CF15 is based on Nylon 6 reinforced with 15% carbon fiber. The carbon fiber content improves stiffness, dimensional stability, and print consistency while helping minimize the shrinkage commonly associated with nylon-based materials.

Recommended print settings:

• Nozzle temperature: 250–280°C
• Heated bed temperature: 70–100°C
• Cooling fan: 0–30%
• Print speed: 30–150 mm/s
• Enclosed printer recommended
• Dry box or filament dryer recommended
• Hardened steel, tungsten carbide, or ruby nozzle recommended

Like other nylon materials, PA6 Low Warp CF15 absorbs moisture from the air. Proper drying before printing helps maximize print quality, layer adhesion, surface finish, and overall mechanical performance.

Compatible with most advanced desktop and professional FDM/FFF 3D printers capable of reaching engineering-grade extrusion temperatures and supporting 1.75mm filament.
