PrimaSelect NylonPower Carbon Fiber – The latest generation of high-performance filament for your 3D printer

PrimaSelect NylonPower Carbon Fiber is part of the latest generation of high-performance filaments for your 3D printer. The filament is based on nylon 12 and is reinforced with 20% carbon fibers. This composition results in an excellently resistant material. Nylon-carbon filament is perfect for additive manufacturing of components for the automotive industry, drone construction and RC parts.

Material Properties PrimaSelect NylonPower Carbon Fiber:

• High chemical and thermal resistance
• Excellent surface quality
• Less deformation than regular nylon
• Easy to 3D print
• Creates very strong parts

3D printing of very resistant parts in NylonPower and carbon fiber

PrimaSelect NylonPower carbon fiber is an extremely useful material with very special material properties. In this filament, the nylon is reinforced with small cut carbon fiber strands. PrimaSelect NylonPower filament offers incredible stiffness, structure and excellent layer adhesion.

NylonPower filament with carbon is easy to work with

NylonPower is also very easy to work with and has a matte finish. Perfect 3D prints are very stiff, rigid and ideal if you need an object with a high stiffness to weight ratio. To process PrimaSelect NylonPower filament, use a heated 3D print bed, set to 60˚C, to achieve good first layer adhesion to the build platform.

Processes NylonPower carbon fiber with a steel nozzle

Due to the highly abrasive properties of PrimaSelect NylonPower (the nozzle tip wears out quickly due to abrasion) we recommend using a hardened steel nozzle for this filament. Using a normal brass nozzle is not a problem, but the nozzle will wear out in a short time.

PrimaSelect NylonPower adheres to adhesive spray or glass coated with a suitable PA adhesive.

Material properties of PrimaSelect NylonPower carbon fiber:

• Weight and Spool: Each spool comes with 500 grams of high quality filament. NylonPower comes packaged on a clear spool with a strong desiccant to prevent moisture.
• Perfect diameter tolerance: NylonPower filament is controlled throughout the manufacturing process. This guarantees that you obtain a filament with a diameter tolerance of +/- 0.05 mm.
• Perfect Spool: We've gone to great lengths to make every spool of filament perfect. Make sure the filament does not get tangled on the spool.
• Easy 3D Printing: Carbon fibers mixed with nylon make this material very easy to work with on most 3D printers. We recommend a hardened nozzle.

Tips and tricks for processing PrimaSelect NylonPower with carbon fibers on your 3D printer

Find here tips and tricks for processing PrimaSelect NylonPower with carbon fiber on your 3D printer.

Keep nylon and carbon filament away from moisture

The carbon fibers contained in PrimaSelect NylonPower reduce the amount of water that can be absorbed. However, for optimal processing you must be careful to keep the filament away from moisture and protect it.

To do this, you must store PrimaCreator NylonPower in a dry place immediately after unpacking. The filament is supplied in a vacuum bag with desiccant so that the first 3D print is successful immediately and you get a perfect result.

If it has been exposed to moisture, we strongly recommend that you dry your NylonPower carbon fiber filament before 3D printing. Simply place the entire coil in the oven at 80°C for 5-7 hours. This will dry the spool and you can start a new 3D print.

Optimal processing temperature of PrimaSelect NylonPower

PrimaSelect NylonPower requires an extruder temperature of 250 - 265°C for optimal extrusion. This NylonPower filament can be processed on most 3D printers. However, we highly recommend using an all-metal extruder for higher temperatures. PrimaSelect NylonPower carbon fiber filament can also be processed at lower temperatures. However, always keep in mind that at lower temperatures you will not get the same strength in the finished parts.

The filament contains carbon fibers, making it very abrasive to the nozzle. We highly recommend using a hardened steel nozzle for this filament, as a normal brass nozzle will be worn out by the nylon filament in no time.

Larger 0.6 or 0.8mm nozzles produce very durable 3D prints and reduce the risk of clogging the nozzle nozzle. However, you can also use it with a 0.4 mm nozzle.

NylonPower carbon fiber does not bond well to PEI, BuildTak or similar surfaces. Glass is the best surface to use with Magigoo, PrintaFix, PVA based glue sticks or other adhesives. Turn off the fan when 3D printing with NylonPower.
