PA Neat. A brand new unfilled, heat resistant, low warp PA
PA Neat is our new 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 spoolmounts 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 travelmoves and rough outer surface of printed parts. Drying is advised using filament dryers, drying temperature set at 70-80C for 4-6 hours.
Tips & tricks
At colorFabb we have a well-equipped 3d printing studio with many popular 3d printers. Our grade of PA NEAT Low Warp has been tested using various 3D printers, which has resulted in the following recommended settings.
Adviced 3d printing temperature:
265C-290C
Adviced 3d print speed:
30 - 40 mm/s
Advised Heated bed (if you have one, not strictly necessary):
ambient - 50C
For heated glass plate buildsurface we can recommend using 3DLac for extra adhesion.
Cooling fan
0% fan cooling is adivesed to achieve best possible layer to layer adhesion. If a geometry needs cooling a maximum fo 50% regular fan speed is advised.
