Polymaker Polymide PA612-CF 1.75mm

PolyMide™ PA612-CF is a carbon fiber reinforced polyamide filament based on a copolymer of PA6 and PA12. Thanks to its chemical structure, this product has lower moisture sensitivity compared to PA6/66 and PA6-based materials, and better mechanical properties than PA12-based materials. In addition, the carbon fiber reinforcement and Warp-free technology enhance the dimensional stability of the prints produced with this material.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLYMIDE™ PA612-CF AND POLYMIDE PA6-CF?

PolyMide™ PA612-CF exhibits enhanced rigidity and strength in wet conditions compared to PolyMide PA6-CF, owing to its longer chemical chain. While both materials do absorb moisture, PA612-CF demonstrates minimal reduction in mechanical properties, resulting in superior overall performance in wet environments when compared to PA6-CF.

IS IT SAFE WHILE PUTTING CARDBOARD SPOOL TO DRY THEPOLYMIDE™ PA612-CF IN THE OVEN?

Yes, we have ensured the dimensional stability of the cardboard by subjecting it to a temperature of 100℃ in the oven. This meticulous drying process guarantees that the cardboard remains free from warping and distortion.

 RECOMMENDED PRINTING CONDITIONS:

• Nozzle temperature 260 – 300 (℃)
• Build surface material - BuildTak®, Glass, Blue Tape Build surface treatment PVP Glue
• Build plate temperature - 25 - 50 (˚C) Cooling fan Turned off
• Printing speed - 30-60 (mm/s)
• Raft separation distance - 0.2 (mm)
• Retraction distance - 3 (mm)
• Retraction speed - 40 (mm/s)
• Environmental temperature - Room temperature
• Threshold overhang angle - 60 (˚)
• Recommended support material - PolySupport For PA12

Based on 0.4 mm nozzle and Simplify 3D v.3.1. Printing conditions may vary with different nozzle diameters.

Note:

• PolyMide™ PA12-CF absorbs moisture slowly over the time. The estimated equilibrium water absorption is around 1.5%.
• Abrasion of the brass nozzle happens frequently when printing PolyMide™ PA12-CF. Normally, the life of a brass nozzle would be approximately 9h. A wear-resistance nozzle, such as hardened steel and ruby nozzle, is highly recommended to be used with PolyMide™ PA12-CF.
• If PolyMide™ PA12-CF is used as the support material for itself, please remove the support structure before excessive moisture absorption. Otherwise, the support structure can be permanently bonded to the model.
• After the printing process, it is recommended to anneal the model in the oven at 80°C for 6 hours.
