Filamenton TECH PA12-W - Natural - 1,75 mm
Filaments manufactured according to the usual Herz formula are now available under the name FilamentOn! PA12 W (polyamide 12, softer version) is a high-quality filament developed for technical purposes, offering high strength, flexibility and chemical resistance.
Polyamide-based materials tolerate prolonged mechanical stress well, making them an ideal choice for printing moving or loaded parts such as gears, bearings and fasteners. PA12 W is more flexible and softer than traditional PA12, making it less brittle and easier to handle. However, printing it can be challenging as the material is prone to shrinkage, so a heated bed and, if possible, a closed print chamber are recommended.
Where to use it:
- For mechanically stressed parts
- Flexible, wear-resistant machine parts
- Prints intended for chemical and industrial environments
Where not to use it:
- For simple decorative or low-stress prints
- In open printers where the temperature cannot be stabilised
