Product Details
- Ultra-Rigid & Lightweight Metal Substitute: Engineered with PA12 resin, SHIMMERFIL carbon fiber nylon filament boosts tensile strength to 70-110 MPa. At 1/5 the density of metal, this cf nylon filament cuts weight by 30-50%, making it a high-performance engineering filament for drone frames and brackets
- Low Moisture Absorption & Stability: Our pa12 filament features a 24h water absorption rate of <=0.7% (23C/50% RH)-far lower than PA6-CF. This carbon fiber filament 1.75mm offers ultra-low shrinkage and exceptional warp resistance, maintaining tight dimensional accuracy (+/-0.05mm) for precision parts
- High Heat Resistance & Anti-Creep: This advanced paht-cf filament boasts a HDT (0.45MPa) of 130-165C and handles continuous use above 120C. Exhibiting low creep under long-term loads, our pa12-cf filament stably maintains structural integrity in high-temperature automotive powertrain components
- Chemical & Wear Resistance: Formulated for industrial use, this nylon cf filament strongly resists gasoline, lubricants, and solvents. Built-in self-lubricating properties reduce wear, making it suitable for reciprocating gears, rails, and bushings
- Low-Temperature Toughness & Print Tips: This filament carbon fiber resists sub-zero cracking for high impact safety (8-12 kJ/m). Print with hardened steel nozzle at 260-300C nozzle temp, 80-110C bed temp, and 40-80 mm/s speed. Dry at 80-90C for 4-6 hours prior to use
- Premium Material Composition: Combines PA12 resin with high-quality chopped carbon fiber to deliver flexural modulus of 2800-8000 MPa and density of 1.15-1.30 g/cm, providing exceptional strength-to-weight ratio comparable to aluminum alloy
- Matte Black Finish with Precision Tolerance: Features natural carbon fiber texture in matte black color with filament diameter of 1.75mm and tight tolerance of 0.05mm, ensuring consistent print quality and professional appearance for engineering applications

Printing SHIMMERFIL Nylon-CF
SHIMMERFIL Nylon-CF in Matte 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.
