    Glass-Filled Nylon Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Glass-Filled Nylon Sheets.
    The glass reinforcement makes these nylon 6/6 sheets stronger than standard nylon, plus it gives them the ability to handle higher temperatures. Offering excellent thermal stability, they’ll maintain their physical properties when heated. They’re often machined into caster plates, automotive components, and other high-stress parts.

    Plastic Washers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Washers. Plastic Washers.
    All of these washers are lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant. They are commonly used in electronics and automation applications to take the pressure off screws and nuts and protect mounting surfaces.
    High-Strength Glass-Filled Nylon—Stronger than plain nylon, but not quite as strong as PEEK. These washers will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture, so they are best for dry environments.

    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.
    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.
    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.
