Review on 🔧 Enhance Your Additive Manufacturing with Polymaker PolyMide Samples: Reinforced Filament for Exceptional Results by Marco Roberson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

prints well, low distortion, sticks with glue stick

Sampled by PA6-GF and CF at Rapid 2019. Mom's garage door opener broke, nylon part was discontinued. Great opportunity to test the PA6 GF trick. Some design work in Fusion 360 and we had STL. Set Slic3r to the recommended settings on the package, launch Prusa and you're good to go. The instructions emphasize keeping the filament dry, which is why it ended up in one of my old Stratasys cartridges. I broke a piece of thread while loading the wallet, which worried me a bit, but after that I had no problems. Print is flat, no warping, excellent surface quality, easy prying to remove part from bed, but not bad. 139.00 for a full roll is a bit expensive. It's 2kg, but spending that money on a project is a bit rude. Good stuff, just not sure I would buy a full roll at that price unless I have a specific project that requires PA and glass/carbon (carbon $169). at. Just ordered a roll of PETG to see if it's as good as they ran out of samples at Rapid :(
