Material & Compatibility Information
PA6 Low Warp GF30 is based on thermally stabilized Nylon 6 reinforced with 30% glass fiber. This formulation provides exceptional mechanical properties while helping reduce warping and shrinkage during the printing process.
Recommended printing parameters:
- Nozzle temperature: 250–280°C
- Heated bed temperature: 70–100°C
- Cooling fan: 0–30%
- Print speed: 30–150 mm/s
- Enclosed printer recommended
- Filament drying recommended before use
- Hardened steel or ruby nozzle required
Like most nylon-based materials, PA6 Low Warp GF30 absorbs moisture from the environment. Proper storage and filament drying help maximize print quality, mechanical strength, and surface finish.
Compatible with most advanced FDM and FFF 3D printers capable of reaching nylon printing temperatures and supporting 1.75mm filament.
