Our 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.

Benefits of Nylon+GF30 Include:
Printable on practically any 3D printer with a heated bed
Ideal for structural engineering-grade applications
Exceptionally stiff and strong, without being brittle
Excellent chemical resistance makes it suitable for automotive and industrial applications
Resists fuels, lubricants, heat, and mechanical loading
High thermal properties keep it strong up to 170Ā°C in use, depending on printing and mechanical loads applied
This product contains 750 grams and 2kgs of filament.Ā 2.85mm and 2KG Available on order only. (Lead time: <7 days)
Specifications
1.75mm and 2.85mm +/- 0.05mm in diameter
Ā
Print Recommendations
Extruder: 260-280Ā°C
Bed Temp: 60-75Ā°C
Nozzle: We currently recommend aĀ hardened steel nozzleĀ with a minimum diameter of 0.4mm
Other: Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter. We do not recommend printing layers smaller than 0.25mm with glass fiber reinforced filaments
Bed Prep:Ā Magigoo Bed PrepĀ orĀ 3DXTECH Polyimide TapeĀ gives us the best results
Heated Chamber: Not required, but a 30-80Ā°C chamber does improve layer bonding and finished part mechanical properties
Supports: AquaTekā¢ water-solubleĀ X1 USM Universal Support MaterialĀ works ideal for complex parts.
Drying Instructions: 90Ā°C for 4 hours.

New Digital Catalog
Packed with your favorite products, detailed information, and essential technical data. Whether your brand new to 3-D printing or need to find a specific filament that best fits your project, our catalog has everything you need in one easy-to-navigate place!
Explore key attributes like tensile strength, flexural strength, glass transition, and fire testing performance. Whether you're prototyping, creating functional parts, or printing detailed models, these property graphs will help you find the perfect filament for your project.
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.
Ā
What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
High strength, High stiffness, High chemical resistance, Low thermal expansion
Ā
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament that exhibits the best properties of both fiberglassĀ andĀ the plastic of choice.
Ā
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 the automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
Ā
Abrasive Material
This 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'sĀ strongly recommendedĀ this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal.Ā Hardened steel nozzlesĀ can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
It is printable on practically any 3D printer with a heated bed; use a 260 to 280 C extruder temperature, 60 to 75 C bed temperature, and a hardened steel nozzle of at least 0.4 mm for abrasive glass fiber reinforced filament.
What are the recommended printing settings and process tips?
Diameter options are 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm plus or minus 0.05 mm. Print at 260-280 C with 60-75 C bed, and set layer height to about 60 percent of nozzle diameter while avoiding layers smaller than 0.25 mm. Use Magigoo Bed Prep or 3DXTECH Polyimide Tape and AquaTek X1 USM supports for complex parts; dry at 90 C for 4 hours.
What are the main benefits of the glass fiber reinforcement?
The filament delivers exceptional stiffness and strength without brittleness, high chemical resistance, and good thermal resistance up to around 170 C. It also improves dimensional stability by reducing shrinkage and warp.
What sizes are available and what is the lead time?
Filament is available in 750 grams and 2 kilograms spools and is offered on order with lead time under 7 days.
Are there any safety or maintenance considerations I should know?
The material is abrasive and can wear standard brass nozzles, so a hardened steel nozzle is recommended. Proper drying before use and suitable bed preparation help achieve optimal layer bonding and part quality.
