Parts

The filaments in the category "Special filament" include Nylon PA-12, PP, PVB, and HIPS filaments, and they are all different types of 3D printing filaments suitable for various applications and materials.

Nylon PA-12 filament is made of nylon (polyamide) material and is known for its high strength and durability. It is resistant to impact and chemicals and can be used to create parts for mechanical applications, such as gears, bearings, and hinges. Fiberlogy has released different colors of Nylon PA-12 filament as well as variations with different additives. There are variants where the nylon is enriched with 15% Carbon or 15% Glass fiber. Both filaments have specific characteristics such as increased impact or tensile strength. Carbon, in particular, is a very lightweight material, and these variants are all well-suited for higher temperatures.

PP filament is made of polypropylene, a material known for its low density and high flexibility. PP filament is resistant to chemicals, heat, and UV light, and can be used to create parts for applications such as packaging, bottles, and containers. PP filament has the property that it adheres less easily to the printer bed. For this purpose, special glue sticks are available in our assortment. Look for Magigoo PP to ensure your 3D print will succeed!

Fiberlogy FiberSmooth is made of PVB (polyvinylbutyral) material and is a flexible and transparent filament that is resistant to UV light. It is often used to create transparent or semi-transparent 3D prints, such as lamps, glasses, and lenses. You can easily work with FiberSmooth using Isopropanol alcohol to fuse the underlying layers together. This results in a visually smooth finish, allowing you to create beautiful artistic objects. Recently, Pure Transparent has also been added; after treatment with Isopropanol alcohol, this filament is very transparent.

High Impact Polystyrene, or HIPS filament, has high strength and durability. It is resistant to shocks and can be used to create parts for applications such as toys, model building, prototyping, and architectural models. HIPS filament is also relatively easy to print and can be used in most standard 3D printers.

In general, these 3D filaments are suitable for various applications and can be used to create functional and decorative 3D prints. It is important to understand the specific characteristics of each filament before deciding which filament is best for your project.
