Free shipping in Canada for orders over $140 before tax. (via Canada Post)

Print it right with Spool3D nylon 3D printer filament.  Our nylon filament is manufactured with tight tolerances from premium grade material.  Our filament has been tested on popular fused filament fabrication desktop 3D printer platforms.

Nylon is incredibly strong, durable, and versatile. Flexible when thin, but with very high inter-layer adhesion, nylon lends itself well to things like hinges, gears, bearings and other functional parts. Nylon filament prints with a translucent surface, and can absorb color added post process with most common, acid-based clothing dyes.

Consistently round diameters make this material very easy to work with.

A Garolite sheet can be used for bed adhesion.

Nylon should be printed while being stored in a dried, airtight container.

Nylon filament should be stored in a resealable plastic bag with the dessicant pack provided.  Nylon is very hygroscopic (it readily absorbs water from the air). Nylon can absorb more than 10% of its weight in water in less than 24 hours. Successful 3D printing with nylon requires dry filament. When you print with nylon that isn’t dry, the water in the filament explodes causing air bubbles during printing that prevents good layer adhesion and greatly weakens the part. It also ruins the surface finish.  Dry nylon prints smooth and has a glossy finish.  To dry nylon, place it in an oven at 145-180F for 6-8 hours. After drying, store in an airtight container,. It should be stored in a resealable plastic bag with the dessicant pack provided.
