PA Neat. A brand new unfilled, heat resistant, low warp PA:
PA Neat is our highly functional polyamide (nylon) grade. PA NEAT allows continues use at 120°C while retaining sufficient mechanical properties and thus highly temperature resistant and tough. This makes it a perfect material for the professional user to make durable prints that need to perform.
PA Neat barely warps and is thus ideally suited for professional users who need their filament to perform.
Due to high stiffness of 2.85mm filament we recommend users to use spool mounts which have some friction between spool and holder, to prevent unspooling of filament.
The filament may absorb moisture from the environment. If absorbed moisture levels are too high, users will see excessive oozing of material on travel moves and rough outer surface of printed parts. Drying is advised using filament dryers, drying temperature set at 70-80C for 4-6 hours.
At colorFabb we have a well-equipped 3d printing studio with many popular 3d printers. Our grade of PA has been tested using various 3D printers, which has resulted in the following recommended settings.
| Advised 3D printing temperature 265C-290C |
| Advised 3d print speed 30 - 40 mm/s |
| Advised Heated bed ambient - 50C For heated glass plate buildsurface we can recommend using 3DLac for extra adhesion. |
| Cooling fan 0% fan cooling is advised to achieve best possible layer to layer adhesion. If a geometry needs cooling a maximum fo 50% regular fan speed is advised. |
