NylonK Kevlar Fiber Filament - 1.75mm (0.5kg)
NylonK is a kevlar fiber reinforced nylon 3D printing filament which boasts excellent abrasion resistance and durability, making it ideal for applications that require more stiffness than unfilled nylons and improved durability under frictional forces. For makers looking to create with engineering-grade materials or those in need of ultra-high-performance nylon - this filament delivers.

Perfect for Creating Functional, Beautiful Ready-to-Use Parts
NylonK is the perfect material for the maker of any experience level who is ready to get into the exciting world of materials that can do more than the commonly used PLA and ABS. NylonK has a few more considerations when 3D printing, but don't let that intimidate you - NylonK is designed to for its strength, durability and abrasion resistance, all while remaining as soft and flexible as PRO Series Nylon. In fact, it warps less due to the added Kevlar, so it's a very easy to use material, too! Whether you're already printing with nylon, or you're only experienced with PLA, give NylonK a try - you'll soon be an expert, and making the coolest prints yet!
Which nylon is right for me?
Filament | Benefit | Optimal Use |
---|---|---|
PRO Series Nylon | Strong, low friction | General Purpose 3D Printing |
NylonG | Impact Resistance | Parts subjected to repeated shock |
NylonK | Abrasion Resistance | Parts subject to constant friction |
NylonX | Tensile Strength | Parts needing stiffness and strength |
Engineering-Grade Material for High-End and Everyday Use
Nylon is an incredible 3D printing material thanks to its inter-layer adhesion and low friction. Nylon is a rigid filament, but under load does flex slightly to stop the part from shattering. These properties make nylon the right choice for functional parts that go from the printer directly to an end-use part. MatterHackers offers many different nylons for 3D printing from PRO Series to NylonX and NylonG all the way to the new NylonK. No matter what you are making with nylon - we've got you covered.
Printing Recommendations
Like all nylons, NylonK must be kept dry! If it does not remain packaged with desiccant, it will readily absorb moisture from the air; this will lead to degraded print quality and wasted filament. You can dry it out by baking it in an oven at 180°F for 4-6 hours. We also carry the PrintDry Filament Drying System for more precise dehydration for all filament types.

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.
