Polyamide (PA/Nylon) filament produces flexible, tough, and wear-resistant prints that outperform ABS and PLA in demanding applications. Unlike more brittle filaments, nylon's self-lubricating properties make it ideal for functional mechanical parts, gears, and living hinges.

Key Features

  • Material – PA (Polyamide / Nylon)
  • Diameter – 1.75mm
  • Weight – 1kg spool
  • Colour – White
  • Properties – Flexible, wear-resistant, self-lubricating, stronger and less brittle than ABS or PLA

Ideal For

  • Functional mechanical parts requiring toughness and flexibility
  • Gears, hinges, and wear surfaces
  • Applications where PLA or ABS would crack or fatigue
Tip: Nylon is hygroscopic — store the spool in a sealed bag or dry box when not in use to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause print quality issues.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

PLA
PLA, or polylactic acid, is a common 3D-printer plastic made from plant-derived materials. It matters because PLA is easy to print with low warping, but it is more brittle and less heat-resistant than some other filament types.
