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.
Nylon 6/6 filaments grip printing surfaces more firmly and shrink less than other nylons, making them easier to print. Use them to form semi-flexible components and medium-stress parts.
Nylon 6/69 filaments stand up to chemicals for use in a variety of chemical processing applications. They’re also FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1395 and FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1500, so they can be used to produce parts that are intended for processing, handling, and packaging food and beverages.
Nylon 680 filaments are rated FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1395 and FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1500, so they can be used to produce parts that are intended for processing, handling, and packaging food and beverages. They also withstand ethylene oxide and steam sterilization processes, making them good for sterile environments.
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.
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.

Slippery Wear-Resistant 3D Printer Filaments
Often used to make bearings, worm gears, and other smooth moving parts, these filaments create parts that won’t wear out from constant motion. They're a slippery thermoplastic blend, so they have better wear resistance and lower friction than other filaments.
Print these filaments on a fused filament fabrication (FFF) printer. Because of their high melting point, a heated printer bed is recommended since the parts will cool too quickly and warp without it. You must use an enclosed printer or fume exhauster while printing these filaments. Store them in a sealed container with a desiccant, or use a dehumidifying cabinet, since moisture in the air can degrade their printing quality.
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.

Flexible TPU 3D Printer Filaments
Stretchy, soft, and sturdy, these filaments make durable parts that resist breakage despite repeated use. Stronger than ABS and PLA filaments, they create long-lasting parts, such as seals, sleeves, and gaskets, as well as components that take on high-impact forces, such as springs and snap-fit parts. These filaments don't require a heated printer bed, and they won't shrink or warp when cooling. Use them with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. In general, these flexible filaments require a slow feed rate so they don't jam. The softer your filament, the slower your feed rate will need to be. Store them in a sealed container with a desiccant, or use a dehumidifying cabinet, since ambient humidity will cause the plastic to degrade and weaken.
Conductive filaments can be used to create circuit prototypes and other conductive pathways.
You can adjust the surface resistivity in static dissipative and conductive filaments by changing the temperature of your printer's extruder. As the extruder’s temperature increases, the printed part’s resistivity will decrease.
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.

Wear-Resistant Flexible PCTPE 3D Printer Filaments
| |
 |
With nylon as an additive, PCTPE filaments are flexible, slippery, and wear resistant. They’re good for making sturdy components that move and rub against other objects. Since they're UL rated 94 HB and 94 V-2, they prevent the spread of flames both horizontally and vertically.
Print these filaments on a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. Because they’re flexible, they require a slow feed rate so they don’t jam. Store them in a sealed container with a desiccant, or use a dehumidifying cabinet, since moisture in the air can degrade their printing quality.

Moisture-Resistant Polyester 3D Printer Filaments
 |  |  |
 |  |
Parts printed with these polyester filaments absorb less moisture than other types of plastic, making them ideal for use in wet or humid environments. They are more durable and flexible than PLA, and easier to print than ABS. Use these filaments with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, and print onto a heated print bed. Printing onto a cool surface causes the molten filament to change temperature rapidly, which can warp your designs. Although finished parts are moisture-resistant, these filaments are sensitive to humidity, and should be stored in a dehumidifying cabinet or a sealed container with desiccant for the best printing quality.
PETT forms strong bonds between layers, so prints will not split apart. It is often used to make large models with large layers.
