Bambu Lab PA (Nylon) PA6-CF Black Summary
This filament is demanding to print. Worth watching: it can be very moisture-sensitive and low on heat resistance.
Print characteristics
Layer adhesion ExceptionalBed adhesion Requires Special PrepBridging & overhang FairSpeed sensitivity Very HighWarping ModerateShrinkage 0.8-2.0 %Stringing ModerateOozing ModerateOdor Moderate
Strengths
- Solid strength for everyday parts
- Resists oils, solvents, and chemicals
- Wear-resistant for moving and rubbing parts
- A little give without being floppy
- Layers bond strongly for clean, watertight prints
- Food-safe potential with the right setup
Things to watch
- Can warp on large or sharp-cornered prints
- Extremely thirsty, keep it sealed with desiccant and dry it right before printing
- Softens in heat, not for hot cars or near heat sources
- Shrinks as it cools, which can affect dimensional accuracy
- Fussy about bed adhesion, use a brim, glue, or a textured plate
Drying
This material is extremely hygroscopic, it pulls moisture from the air very quickly. When it needs drying, run it at 70-90 °C for 8-24 h. Keep it in a heated dry box while printing for the cleanest results.

Color
A solid Black filament. It reads as a near-black, close to midnight blue.
Finishing
Machinable
Specialties
Tough / Impact ResistantEngineered to resist breaking, cracking, or shattering under impact. Unlike standard PLA, which snaps, this flexes slightly before breaking. Ideal for parts that get dropped, bumped, or stressed.
High StrengthResists bending or pulling apart under heavy load. Very stiff.
Wear ResistantResists surface wear from friction and sliding. Good for gears, bushings, conveyor parts, or any component that rubs against other surfaces.
Chemical ResistantResists damage from oils, fuels, acids, industrial chemicals or solvents. For laboratory equipment, fuel system components, or chemical storage.
Heat ResistantWithstands elevated temperatures (hot car, warm electronics) without deforming. Printable on standard printers. HDT ~80-120°C.
Low Friction Naturally slippery surface. Low coefficient of friction. For bearings and sliding parts.
