    Print tough, long-lasting parts that won’t scratch or wear out from constant motion and friction, such as gears and washers. You can even tap or drill the parts without them cracking or shattering.
    Use these filaments with fused filament fabrication (FFF) printers. Because of their relatively high melting point, a heated printer bed is recommended. These filaments also emit fumes when printing, so it’s best to use them in an enclosed printer or to remove the fumes with a fume exhauster. Store them in a sealed container with a desiccant so they don’t absorb moisture in the air, which can make them unusable.
    Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your printed parts will start to lose structural integrity.
    Carbon Fiber Filled—Carbon-fiber-filled nylon filaments make rigid parts that are difficult to bend and break. Their parts can also be threaded and machined more easily than the same filaments without any filler. However, they’re abrasive, so only use them with abrasion-resistant nozzles.
    Fiberglass Filled—Fiberglass-filled nylon filaments make strong parts that are less prone to warping or shrinking than the same filaments without any filler. However, they’re abrasive, so only use them with abrasion-resistant nozzles.
    Nylon 6/66—Nylon 6/66 filaments are the strongest nylon filaments without a filler, but may warp while cooling.
    Tensile Strength—Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament's overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament. A tensile strength of 5,000 psi and above is considered good; 12,000 psi and above is excellent.

    Dremel 3D Printer Filaments

    Build parts and prototypes from these filaments using Dremel fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. An RFID tag on the spool communicates with your printer, automatically adjusting it to the correct temperature and print speed for the filament material and notifying you when the filament is running out.
    Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your printed parts will start to lose structural integrity.

    Nylon resists scratches and wear, and is often used to create parts that encounter constant friction such as gears or bearings. Nylon parts also won’t crack or shatter when they’re drilled or tapped. Exposure to humidity makes these filaments brittle and unusable, so they need to be stored in a sealed container with a desiccant. Like ECO-ABS, parts can warp during cooling and need a heated printer bed. Make sure your printer is connected to a ventilation system, as nylon emits fumes during printing.
    Tensile Strength—Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament's overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament.
