SLS Nylon PA12

The SLS Nylon(PA12) (plastic) objects printed through FacFox are created from a fine polyamide powder, more commonly known as plastic.
The material is both solid and flexible. Nylon PA12 (Plastic) is great for both experienced professionals and beginning designers because of its high precision and low cost. The material is white, granular, and somewhat porous.

Additional Info
This material is incredibly versatile, and can be used for a wide variety of applications, from iPhone cases to jewelry, remote controlled quadcopters to wearable bikinis. When thin, it’s flexible enough for hinges and springs. When thick, it’s strong enough for structural components.

Thicker models are more difficult to bend

Flexibility depends on the structure and design of the model. The thicker you make something, the less flexible it will be. A spring made with 1mm wire will compress and elongate rather easily. A spring made with 3mm thick will take a bit more effort, and won’t compress if you drop it from a few feet.

Thicken your engraved/embossed text to make it easier to read

Although 0.4mm details will show up in this material, we find that text raised at least 0.6mm shows up most clearly. If you want crisper text or embossed details, try bumping the thickness up to 0.6mm.
