Description This post is also available in: ไทย (Thai) 日本語 (Japanese) 3DXTECH FIBREX NYLON GF30: Glass fiber reinforced nylon for superior strength Strong, durable nylon filament reinforced with 30% glass fiber 3DXTECH FIBREX NYLON GF30 750g is a high-performance 3D printing filament made from nylon reinforced with 30% glass fiber. This combination provides exceptional strength, stiffness, and impact resistance, making it ideal for creating durable, high-quality parts that can withstand demanding applications. The glass fiber reinforcement enhances the filament’s mechanical properties, ensuring improved dimensional stability and rigidity. With its reliable performance and easy printability, 3DXTECH FIBREX NYLON GF30 is perfect for producing strong, lightweight components for various industrial and engineering projects. FibreX™ Nylon GF30 30% Glass Fiber Reinforced NylonOur Nylon GF30 glass fiber reinforced Nylon 6 Copolymer (PA6) is nothing less than an industrial-grade beast! Formulated to be exceptionally stiff and strong, all without being brittle. Polyamides (PA) are the work horse of the plastics industry the world over thanks to their excellent mechanical, chemical, and thermal resistance. The addition of heavy glass fiber reinforcement takes it to the next level.

Filament Specifications:1.75mm and 2.85mm /- 0.05mm in diameterRecommended Print Settings:Extruder: 260-280°CBed Temp: 60-75°CNozzle: We currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4mmOther: Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter. We do not recommend printing layers smaller than 0.25mm with glass fiber reinforced filamentsBed Prep: Magigoo Bed Prep or 3DXTECH Polyimide Tape gives us the best resultsHeated Chamber: Not required, but a 30-80°C chamber does improve layer bonding and finished part mechanical propertiesSupports: AquaTek™ water soluble X1 USM Universal Support Material works ideal for complex parts.Drying Instructions: 90°C for 4 hours. What Is It?Fibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.

How Does It Work?Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice. What Is It Good For?Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity.For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries. Abrasive MaterialThis material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues. Because of this, it’s strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer’s instructions.
