eSUN PA 1kg 2.85mm Natural

To get used to 3D printing, you want to be using materials that are easy to work with. And the Nylon (Polyamide aka PA) Filament by eSUN is exactly that, especially when compared with other types of filaments, such as Nylon 12. It is a must-have product for 3D printing, especially if you are printing more complex materials for your models. The best thing about it is that it is not too pricey considering how useful it is.

This material accompanies other eSUN filaments, including ABS, HIPS, and ABS+ filaments. It works with most FDM printers that use 2.85 mm filament, an excellent product for almost every 3D printer. The nylon is flexible and has a high inter-layer adhesion level, perfect for printing functional parts, such as living hinges. Its high melting temperature also makes it the ideal product for printing 3D gears.

You can purchase this nylon filament in the shade natural, so it pairs perfectly with other prints, whether they are colored or also neutral. The natural color is easy to work with and doesn’t feel as overwhelming as brighter filaments. And with a printing speed of 40-100 mm/s, you’ll find this robust and flexible product a great addition to your 3D printer.

Like eSUN’s other products, this filament is high quality and designed to avoid warping and any other installation difficulties. You will be able to add this filament fluidly to your 3D printer, though there are some essential things to ensure you do first. Nylon filaments need your printer to have an enclosed to lessen humidity and high temperatures around the model during the printing process. It won’t work well with just any 3D printer. Also, nylon absorbs moisture (up to 10% of its total weight in water), so don’t print immediately. Instead, place it in a dry box for a few hours to ensure it is entirely moisture-free, especially if you will be completing a long print job.

So long as you make sure that the nylon filament is compatible with your 3D printer, you’ll have a great experience with it. What’s more, this product is non-toxic, so you won’t notice any strong odors, despite the great mechanical strength of the filament. The PA Nylon Filament is also very resistant to stains from oil and grease and any damage from scratches, which will give your printed parts an extra layer of durability. And with a print temperature range of 235-260 degrees Celsius and great bending strength, the PA Nylon Filament by eSUN will ensure that your prints look great and last a long time.
