eSun ePA-GF (Nylon + Glass Fiber) 1.75mm Filament 1kg
About ePA-GF1. ePA-GF is a beige translucent filament; 2. As a intermediate loading glass fiber reinforced nylon, it's much improved in mechanical strength, rigidity, modulus, etc comparing to pure nylon filament; 3. Improved creep resistance, fatigue resistance, heat resistance and the distortion temperature can be 120℃. It has excellent print performance, which print smoothly with no edge warping; 4. Smooth, fine surface and no outside leakage of glass fiber, which avoid the harm of touch; 5. The glass fiber decreases the shrinking percentage compared to pure nylon, so big prints are less likely to shrink and deform.
Performance Indicators
Printing parameters
Printing notices 1. Suitable for all kinds of FDM 3D printer. It's suggested to print with hardened steel nozzle because ePA-GF will wear down brass and aluminum nozzles; 2. Works with different print surface like 3M tape, Kapton tape, glass, etc; 3. Keep an optimum distance between nozzle and plate. The best distance is 0.2-0.3mm; ePA-GF may unable to print smoothly with distance less than 0.2mm; 4. A lower filling rate can remit shrinkage crack during printing process; 5. Better keep cooling fan off when printing and print in a closed area. Putting flapper around printer helps to keep constant temperature environment; 6. It's suggested to polish the print after to remove a few outside leakage of fiber on surface. PS: The filament is fully dried before vacuum packaging. You can reserve in ziplock bag with desiccant or dry 3-4 hours in 80℃ oven to ensure the best print effect. |
