Bambu PA6-GF Glass Fiber-Reinforced Nylon
Bambu PA6-GF, also known as Nylon 6 with Glass Fiber, stands at the forefront of high-performance engineering plastics. Engineered to deliver exceptional strength, durability, dimensional stability. The PA6-GF is also more cost effective when compared to other top tier engineering filaments.
PA6-GF boasts unparalleled dimensional stability thanks to its glass fiber reinforcement, minimizing warping in comparison to standard PA filaments. Print with precise dimensions, even in the most intricate geometries.
Bambu PA6-GF is exceptionally strong and durable due to reinforced glass fibers, making it the perfect choice for prints that need to withstand heavy use and resist bending or breaking.
- Note: The printed part achieves better toughness after exposure to moisture.
PA6-GF boasts a high heat deflection temperature and superior dimensional stability, enabling it to retain its mechanical properties even under elevated temperatures. This makes it ideal for demanding industrial and automotive applications.
PA6-GF offers excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and many kinds of solvents, ensuring long-term performance in challenging environments.
Printing Tips
• Bambu PA6-GF needs proper drying before printing: recommended drying temperature is 80 ℃ for 8 to 12 hours in a blast drying oven, or 90 to 100 ℃ for 10 to 12 hours on heat bed. (Do not exceed 100 ℃ because the spool may deform or even melt). For more details, please refer to: Printing tips for Engineering materials on WIKI.
• To prevent the filament from absorbing moisture, it is recommended to use an airtight storage container with desiccant during printing. For more details, please refer to: Printing tips for Engineering materials on WIKI.
• To minimize warping, avoid printing large-sized high infill density models. Use enclosed printers and ensure the build plate is properly applied with glue for better print adhesion before printing.

Post-processing Tips
• We recommend removing the support structures within 2 hours after printing to prevent them from sticking after absorbing moisture. If sticking occurs, dry the model to ease the removal.
• Placing the printed part in a convection oven set between 80 to 130 degrees Celsius for 5 to 12 hours can further enhance the strength and rigidity of the print. Note: The effectiveness of this process depends on the structure, size, and conditions of the printed model. Some models may warp or deform after annealing.
