FibreX PA+GF30 Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon
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 170°C in use, depending on printing and mechanical loads applied
- Glass fiber reinforcement improves dimensional stability, reduces shrinkage, lift, and warp
- Very strong layer bonding
Recommended Print Settings
- Extruder: 260-280°C
- Bed Temp: 60-75°C
- Nozzle: We currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle 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: Magigoo Bed Prep
- Heated Chamber: Not required, but a 30-80°C chamber does improve layer bonding and finished part mechanical properties
- Supports: AquaTek™ water soluble X1 USM Universal Support Material works ideal for complex parts.
- Drying Instructions: 90°C for 4 hours.

Questions
What is the difference between form sheets and cast sheets?
Does it include a vacuum source?
What is the largest size item i can make a mold of, width and length? It says 200mm but do I need room around that for air circulation?
please call me
What substance do you suggest for sculpting an image to use in the vacuum former? I want to make molds for chocolate making. Will modeling chocolate or clay hold up to the heat of the machine?
what is the tempurature range. how hot can it get
Can LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) at 1/16" thickness be used?
Can you use lexan/polycarbonate sheets with this machine?
Can you use the Makyu system to create thermoform molds?
Do you have a slightly larger unit with the same design. I would love to make masks and other small props in my classroom.
Would I be able to form plastic molds strong enough to stand up to casting epoxy resin in a pressure pot?
Is this product UL listed?
does it come with any materials ?
Why is this $700 for such a small and basic device? What does it bring to the table that justifies this cost?
How much will the sheets run?
how big is this? No information of its specs???
Please do some videos on 3d printing molds then thermo forming them, i.e. food molds. Thanks
Does it have universal voltage?
Will you be stocking the plastic sheets?
Do you need a shop vac
The FormBox does not include a vacuum, but is compatible with most household vacuums. If you would like a vacuum former with the vacuum built in, you may want to look at the Vaquform DT2
