ColorFabb NylonK Kevlar Fiber Filament - 1.75mm (0.5kg)
ColorFabb nGen is one of the easiest filaments to print with and is ideal for any part that requires bridges. nGen holds up very well to a variety of print speeds and temperatures making it a reliable filament that produces high quality prints with ease. nGen is a completely unique filament developed by ColorFabb which is produced with the Amphora polymer AM3300. As a result, this filament is low-odor and styrene-free.

ColorFabb nGen is the perfect filament for beginners or those who don't want to constantly refine print settings. Because this material prints well at a wide range of temperatures and speeds, you can spend less time refining your settings and more time printing. nGen flows very well through the print nozzle and does not clog often. This filament is great for creating durable parts while avoiding print failures and the need to adjust print settings.
When we tried out nGen, we were most impressed with the ability to print parts with tons of bridging successfully (these parts had failed using other materials). Additionally, nGen has a very opaque and crisp looking appearance when printed.
Printing Temperature:
220-240C
Printing Speed:
40 - 70 mm/s
Heated Bed:
75-85C
Build Platform:
nGen gives best results on a heated build platform - 75C to about 85C is usually needed for proper adhesion to a glass plate. You can print without a heated bed if you use Buildtak or some other adhesive to minimize warping.
At MatterHackers, to bring you new and exciting products, we occasionally shift some of our quality stock to the Clearance section.
Reasons for Clearance Items:- New Product Versions: When manufacturers release updated versions of printers, CNC machines, filament, etc., the older versions typically go to Clearance.
- Overstock: Items we have in excess are moved to Clearance to free up warehouse space.
- Discontinuation: Discontinued product lines often end up in Clearance to expedite the sale of remaining stock.
- Packaging Changes: When packaging updates occur, we shift the older packaged items to Clearance.
- Poor Quality: Clearance items meet our rigorous quality standards and often brand new, unopened products.
- Limited Support: You'll receive our excellent customer service for Clearance items. Note, all Clearance purchases are Final Sale and not covered by the MatterHackers Return Policy.

Questions
When can we expect a matterhackers video about this product and it's capabilities, like the other matterhackers nylon series filaments? Thanks
Do you know the stability of this material in pH 1 sulfuric acid (0.1 M sulfuric acid)?
Is this stronger than nylonx for functional parts?
I have the creality ender3 v3 ke that uses pei type build plates is there any other building plate that will work or is equivalent to glass like pet or smooth pei build plates I can use for it?
Can i get different volume fraction of Kevlar in Nylon filament?
Is this material appropriate for injection molds with a mold material that melts around 200C?
This printed great! 260c and 85c bed. No warp! Sticks to my glass bed with glue stick great! Looking to find a material with low coefficient of friction. Would you be able to tell me what filament you have with the lowest coefficient of friction?
How do any of these nylons fair against polycarbonate? Would additive nylons surpass polycarbonate in their specific aspects of tougness?
What would the estimated maximum operating temperature be? Say to be exposed via convection for ~ 3 hours
Hi, I just ran my first print with this material and I'm having trouble with the layers adhering to each other. Using ender 5 with .4 hardened nozzle, 260 C on nozzle, 100 C on bed, .24 layer height, 40mm speed with cooling fan at 40%. Brim attached to work so well that it de-laminated first and second layers. Bent part to test and layers all separated.

Is the product MXTJFMYQ compatible with flashforge printer?
Is this material like nylon x with respect to warping?
Clogs nozzles much faster than Nylon X.
Will there be a Zylon varient of this filament?
Hi, Im designing a compliant mechanism, where I need parts to be strong, flexible but has good stress resistance and good fatigue life, due to the part will be bended in different direction continously. Which material is the most suitable? My guess is nylon and nylon K. Does the added kevlar enhance fatigue life and make the part less likely fail due to stress?
What is the density of this material (nylonk)?
what is the heat deflection temp of the material
Would this be a good material to print a timing pulley for an electric skateboard? The high strength, wear resistance and dimensional accuracy are definite pluses, but I'm worried the Kevlar will cause increased wear to the neoprene timing belt. Any idea if this will be a problem?
Is there a datasheet available for this material?
What is the as-printed tensile strength in the xy direction? (And z direction if you have made vertical dogbones to test interlayer adhesion strength)
What is the glass transition temp?
What Color is it? How nice are the prints? Thanks!
Is this bullet-proof?
No. The Kevlar in vests is continuous fiber (woven into fabric) those are tiny chopped fibers. The job of the Kevlar in the vest is to both prevent the slug from penetrating the ceramic when striking the chest plate and prevent the ceramic chest plate from spalling into the wearer’s body. Since the manufacturers of real vests typically use ceramic for the plates, I’m gonna guess that is the optimum material. If Kevlar filled nylon was a good choice it is obviously easily obtained and injection moldable so they would use it. Just because it contains Kevlar does not make it bulletproof.
No.
Well if you mean getting shot with a proper bulletproof plate vs Printing a nylonK plate, i know it’s a crazy idiotic insane stupid idea but ill rather not diy anything that is designed to be bulletproof. That’s just me though but make a shield spartan
Anything will be bulletproof in the right thickness for the caliber, including a phone book. Is it going to be weight-efficient though? No for various reasons.
I mean, sure? But what you have to remember about Kevlar bulletproof vest plates is they've been tested to crazy lengths to be sure that they are combat-ready.
I guess what I'm saying is, be prepared to spend a lot of money making sure your plates will work in the field - probably a lot more than it would be to just buy the plates themselves.
If you REALLY wanna do it, I'd start by looking at the 3D printed bulletproof Stormtrooper video on YouTube. And talk to some ballistics experts.
