Create Functional, Beautiful Ready-To-Use Parts
Nylon X is the perfect material for any level maker who is ready to transition into something outside the commonly used PLA and ABS. Don't let printing nylon intimidate you - this material is designed to provide strength, durability, and ease of use. If you are already printing with nylon, give NylonX a try - it will soon be your new favorite!
Start Your Adventure with NylonX
The best part of NylonX is that the carbon fiber adds stability and rigidity, so parts are much less likely to warp than with standard nylon. This means that printing with NylonX is actually easier than printing with traditional nylon while providing parts that are durable and stiff from the carbon fiber. Additionally, less warping means you can enjoy more accurate printed parts with fewer failed prints.
Create functional, durable, shatter-resistant prints with NylonX.
Tough Jobs Demand the Toughest Material
NylonX is an engineering grade nylon filament which is blended with chopped carbon fibers (approximately 20% by weight), creating a high-strength filament capable of printing tough, shatter-resistant, functional parts.
NylonX is the perfect blend of strength and durability; If you are already printing with nylon it's time to upgrade. NylonX components print with a fantastic matte finish that requires no post-processing. The high precision of this filament makes it a potential replacement for aluminum using 3D printing instead of CNC milling. NylonX is the simple answer for anyone in need of robust, high-quality prints.
NylonX creates ready-to-use functional parts with micro-carbon reinforced nylon.
High-Performance Print to Production
With a unique matte-black finish, that comes out smooth and silky, NylonX all but eliminates post-processing. Finished prints can immediately be moved to production with no sanding, polishing, scraping, or pesky acetone vapor baths. Lessen the time it takes to get parts to production, and eliminate the waste of leftover filament with the print-and-go ease of NylonX.
Get outstanding strength and rigidity from carbon-fiber infused NylonX.
What Can You Create with NylonX?
With the physical properties of NylonX, the options for 3D printing your favorite projects are unlimited. Use to print:
- RC Cars
- Drone Parts
- Sports Accessories
- Gears
- Fittings for Home Furnishings
- Artistic 3D Prints
- and many more!
For rigid parts that can stand up to extreme sports, NylonX can handle any job.
Printing Recommendations
Like all nylons, NylonX must be kept dry! If it does not remain packaged with desiccant, it will readily absorb moisture from the air; this will lead to degraded print quality and wasted filament. You can dry it out by baking it in an oven at 180°F for 4-6 hours. We also carry the PrintDry Filament Drying System for more precise dehydration for all filament types.

Questions
Will this big spool work in the printdry system?
What is the ideal volunmetric print speed of this material for use in an X1C? Thank you!
I print a lot of parts that are only a few mm thick. Stiffness and rigidity are important. How does this nylon compare to other nylon filaments?
Hi, Is it possible to return order # 101-0000256-8987002. We ordered the wrong product. I actually need the 1.7mm 3kg which is on back order. Also is it possible to open a terms account with you?
what's the water absorption after 24h immersion in water of 23degC (73degF) and what's the water absorption at saturation in water of 23degC? Per ISO 62
hOW MANY METERS ARE ON A ROLL OF THE 1.75MM MATERIAL
Can this material NylonX be painted, glued or welded?
Would using normal Nylon filament as support work for the Nylonx? Trying to reduce cost.
Does the 3kg spool come shipped in a box, rather than the padded envelopes the .5kg spools ship in?

What are the material properties of your "NylonX Carbon Fiber Filament - 1.75mm (3kg)"? Is there a spec sheet available?
How resistant to heat is the final 3d object?
I have heard of someone plating over plastic, Copper plate followed by nickel? If so, who?
Have you ever heard of some one plating over your material. I heard of one process where copper is plated over plastic, followed by nickel plating? If so, where?
Can I get a small sample please? I’d like to do a test print
What are the correct dimensions of this spool? One says 200mm diameter, the other says 300mm diameter. I'd like to know what the 3kg spool size is to include the width, overall diameter, and hole size.
How long (in meter) is the filament per kilo (especialy on the 3Kilo spool) ?
getting some conflicting responses to a few of these questions so I am going to ask this one again. Will this 3K spool of NylonX fit in a PrintDry? One response says the spool is 200mm another says it is 300mm, which is it?
Is the diameter of the roll still just under 8"? (200mm?)
what's a good support material to use with nylon X? HIPS, PVA, PLA, other? i just bought a spool of HIPS, so i was hoping to use that.. thank you for the help!
What are the spool dimensions? Thanks
How will this material hold up for interior parts on a car? (Heat and warping) Can it be coated with a UV protectant?
It will hold up very well and can be coated with a UV protectant.
