Nylon AF80 Aramid
This Polyamide 12 filament, reinforced with 8% aramid fibers, offers excellent chemical resistance, tribological properties, and high stability across a wide temperature range. Perfect for durable parts like bearings, cogwheels, and unwinding wheels, it withstands even harsh chemicals, including car fluids.
✅ Exceptional mechanical properties retained from -40 °C to +140 °C
✅ High wear resistance and low thermal expansion for demanding applications
✅ Excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of substances
✅ Safe for use in electrical equipment, BPA-free, and low emissions

Customer Reviews
Normally if you have a good material, and on the print some imperfections to see, then those are magnified through the observer's eye. With this material I don't even see how the walls are connected to the top layers, however for strength they are 10 % overlap. In a 85 celsius heated chamber the 60 deg overhang without support is also acceptable, but 55 deg is as perfect as a 15 deg wall.
This filament was shockingly easy to print with (K1C), and is even stronger than I had expected. I use it for parts that need exceptional durability such as the wheel hub of a heavy remote control car (pictures). I tried using PETG and regular Nylon, but both filaments failed. The Aramid AF80 works perfectly though.
Other than drying, AF80 is surprisingly easy to print with a 0.8mm nozzle, on a Bambulabs X1C, engineering plate, with Magigoo PA.
Like FX256, AF80 parts are tough, even below freezing, or wet. AF80 doesn't seem as stiff as PA, or even some CF & GF filaments but it's stiffer than FX256. The upside to not being quite as stiff is that AF80 is less brittle than some PA-CF filaments I've tried. This also warps noticeably less than NylonFX256 and shouldn't creep over time (haven't confirmed this).
My only complaint is that there's no grey/black option. AF80 might look really interesting mixed with the natural aramid color. The existing yellow/beige looks like an old ABS computer case from the 1990s - but this is a very minor complaint for an engineering filament.
