Name: PA6/ABS Blend Filament – Tough Engineering Material, 1.75mm, 1kg
Brand: Filazoo
Price: 39.9 USD
Availability: InStock

Produce tough, durable engineering components with Filazoo PA6/ABS Blend Filament. This material combines the toughness and wear-oriented performance of PA6 nylon with the dimensional and processing characteristics of ABS.

It is designed for functional prototypes, gears, brackets, housings, fixtures, machine components, and parts exposed to repeated handling. Because PA6 readily absorbs moisture, thorough drying and printing from a dry box are important for consistent extrusion and strong layer bonding.

270 °C nozzle, 100 °C bed, 40 mm/s, 0.20 mm layer height, with the filament feeding directly from a dry box.

FAQ

Why must PA6/ABS be dried?

PA6 (nylon) absorbs moisture from the air faster than almost anything else we sell. Wet filament causes popping, bubbles, stringing, rough surfaces, inconsistent extrusion, and weaker layer bonding. Dry it before every session — how to dry filament at home compares ovens, dry boxes, and dedicated dryers.

Should PA6/ABS remain in a dry box while printing?

Yes. On long prints, feed it straight from a dry box — nylon reabsorbs moisture from room air within hours, so drying it once at the start isn't enough. How to store filament properly covers desiccant and the humidity level worth aiming for.

Is an enclosure required for PA6/ABS?

Recommended. A stable chamber environment reduces warping and layer separation on a material that shrinks meaningfully as it cools — see warping 101.

Is PA6/ABS suitable for gears?

It suits prototypes and many light- to medium-duty mechanical components — nylon's wear resistance is a real advantage in moving parts. Final suitability depends on load, temperature, geometry, lubrication, and required service life, so test before committing. PA6/ABS vs. ABS/ASA covers where each blend fits.
