Decriptions:

The printing consumables developed based on nylon 6/66 copolymers are added with 25% glass fiber, which greatly enhances the strength and rigidity of nylon, and can be used as a substitute for metal in many occasions; self-lubricating and wear-resistant properties make it suitable for printing gears; strong Toughness and impact resistance, can be used to print durable parts; high temperature resistance, heat distortion temperature up to 120 ℃; low shrinkage, not easy to warp and crack during printing, the surface of the printed items is matte and delicate.

Characteristics:

• Heat resistance
• High strength
• High rigidity
• High impact resistance
• Abrasion resistance
• High dimensional stability
• Matte surface effect
• Excellent printability

Note:

1. ePA-GF needs to be dried (70℃/＞12H) before printing to achieve the best printing effect. It is recommended to use it with the eBOX cartridge when printing.

2. The ePA-GF line has strong rigidity and is not easy to bend. In the feeding pipe, excessive bending of the wire should be avoided as much as possible.

3. ePA-GF is very easy to grind nozzles and extruder gears. It is recommended to use hardened steel nozzles or ruby nozzles. If conditions permit, you can choose hardened steel extruder gears. If the printing time is long, the throat and nozzles need to be replaced.

4. It is recommended to set the skirt to make it better for taking the model from the forming plate.
