Inslogic Pre-Dried PA12-CF Filament 1.75mm Carbon Fiber Nylon 1KG Black | 20% Carbon Fiber Nylon, Lightweight & High Stiffness, Low Moisture Absorption, Chemical Resistant, Industrial Parts

Product Details

• 20% CARBON FIBER REINFORCED NYLON: Inslogic PA12-CF combines nylon 12 with 20% carbon fiber reinforcement to deliver a stiff, strong, lightweight material for demanding functional prints. Designed for engineering components, manufacturing fixtures, mechanical parts, and durable prototypes where structural performance matters.
• HIGH HEAT RESISTANCE — 177°C HDT: With a heat deflection temperature of 177°C at 0.45 MPa, this PA12-CF filament is suited to parts exposed to elevated temperatures. Consider it for automotive accessories, manufacturing aids, and functional components, while accounting for load, part geometry, and actual operating conditions.
• 103 MPa TENSILE STRENGTH: Built for demanding mechanical applications, Inslogic PA12-CF delivers a tensile strength of 103 MPa. Use it for functional prototypes, mechanical components, and end-use parts that require high strength. Final performance depends on print settings, layer orientation, and part design.
• HIGH RIGIDITY FOR STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS: With a flexural strength of 162 MPa and a flexural modulus of 5,468 MPa, this carbon fiber nylon filament is designed for stiff, dimensionally stable parts. Suitable applications include brackets, jigs, fixtures, tooling, and custom mechanical assemblies.
• LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE FOR FUNCTIONAL PARTS: Carbon fiber reinforcement provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, making PA12-CF useful when both structural performance and reduced part weight matter. Explore applications such as drone components, lightweight brackets, automotive accessories, and custom mechanical assemblies.
• LOW MOISTURE SENSITIVITY: PA12-CF offers low moisture sensitivity compared with many moisture-sensitive engineering materials, helping support dimensional consistency in practical applications. Store the filament sealed when not in use and dry it according to the recommended conditions when necessary. Low moisture sensitivity does not mean moisture-proof.
• PRECISE 1.75MM FILAMENT: Manufactured to a diameter tolerance of ±0.03mm, Inslogic PA12-CF supports consistent filament feeding when used with a properly calibrated FDM 3D printer. For reliable dimensional results, optimize extrusion settings, first-layer adhesion, and model orientation for the part being printed.
• STRONG INTERLAYER BONDING: Designed to support strong bonding between printed layers, PA12-CF is suitable for functional prototypes and mechanical components that need dependable structural performance. For best results, follow the recommended printing conditions and consider layer direction when designing parts subject to bending or mechanical loads.
• RECOMMENDED PRINTING & DRYING SETTINGS: Recommended nozzle temperature is 260–280°C at 50–100mm/s, with a 60–70°C bed and 70% cooling fan. Use a 0.4mm or 0.6mm nozzle and a textured PEI build surface. Dry at 90°C for 12 hours or 110°C for 4 hours when needed. Confirm that your printer, filament spool, and dryer are rated for the selected temperatures.
• ENGINEERED FOR PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Use this carbon fiber reinforced nylon for manufacturing jigs and fixtures, drone components, automotive accessories, mechanical prototypes, and other functional end-use parts. Carbon fiber is abrasive, so a wear-resistant nozzle suitable for composite filaments is recommended. Check your printer manufacturer's guidance for nozzle compatibility and setup requirements.

Printing Inslogic Nylon-CF

Inslogic Nylon-CF in Black is Nylon filled with chopped carbon fiber, and this listing is a 1kg spool. The fibers make parts stiffer and more dimensionally stable than plain Nylon, but they are abrasive, so a hardened nozzle is mandatory (see nozzle compatibility below). The ranges below are for Nylon-CF, which usually prints a little hotter than plain Nylon. Nylon-CF is best suited to strong, stiff engineering parts that must also tolerate heat. Brands and even individual spools vary, so treat these as starting points and run a quick temperature tower to lock in the sweet spot for your printer.

Ranges checked against Bambu Lab, Polymaker and Prusament data. Heat resistance is the heat deflection temperature (HDT). Read our carbon fiber filament guide for bed adhesion, drying, troubleshooting, and material-specific tips.

Nozzle Compatibility

Carbon fiber is abrasive and wears brass (and stainless) nozzles out of round, sometimes within a single spool. Use hardened steel or another wear resistant nozzle such as ruby or tungsten carbide. With hardened steel, start about 5 to 10°C hotter than you would with brass.
