PA Neat

PA Neat is the new polyamide (nylon) from Colorfabb. A highly functional 3D printing filament.

PA Neat allows continuous use at 120°C while maintaining sufficient mechanical properties and therefore highly resistant to high temperatures. This makes it a perfect material for the professional user to make durable prints that need to show adequate performance. PA Neat is also not very prone to warping.

Printing surface

The material shows good results when printed at room temperature or with a cold plate. For some geometries or high density fillings a heated platen at 40°C/50°C is recommended. The use of a brim helps when printing with an unheated platen. The material has been tested on buildTak and glass top. When printing on a glass top, we recommend using a fixative to keep the filament in the first few layers adhered to the top.

Cooling

As always, less cooling results in better layer-to-layer adhesion, more cooling produces better results on complex and protruding surfaces. A fan speed of 50% is recommended as the default setting. Set a lower fan speed if your print geometry allows it.
