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.

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?

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.

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?

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?
