Resilient flexible nylon with fantastic interlayer adhesion.
Resilience, flexibility with little to no elasticity and a wearable texture define this newly released industrial filament from Graphene 3D Lab’s brand Black Magic 3D. Veteran makers will appreciate the easy printing and densely smooth feel of projects created with Scorpion. Our flexible nylon has fantastic interlayer adhesion. It is very strong and depending on the layer height, projects made with Scorpion can bear high forces and weight bouncing back with no damage from repeated stress. In testing, we lifted over 20 kg (44 lbs) with a handle created from the flexible nylon.

Care instructions:

***Nylons are sensitive to water and humidity!*** Always keep in an airtight, waterproof container when not in direct use (ex. ziploc) and include a desiccant bag. If filaments are exposed to moisture, follow typical drying instructions in an oven for nylon filaments.

Printing Instructions:

***It is recommended to dry nylons before printing with them for optimal quality***

• Printing temperature: 225°C-235°C Works best at 230°C but can be varied according to the design and detail and speed.
• Infill suggestions: Any infill will work as long as it is incorporated in the design. If you want a low infill, you have to increase the numbers of the top and base layers or shell thickness
• Print Speed: Maximum is 50 mm/s Layer heights:tested for 0.1 mm and above

Printer Bed Instructions

• Heated bed necessary?: Heated bed is not necessary if you use a BuildTak bed and PVA glue. This combination produces the best quality prints with good adhesion and no peeling of the edges.
  If you have a heated bed, keep it at 55-60°C. and blue painters glue. A heated bed is a good alternative to the BuildTak + glue combo.
  Printing with neither a heated bed or BuildTak is not recommended as the edges of prints can pull up. This is fine for quick prints but not for your final designs.
• Glue necessary?: Yes. We recommend using a PVA glue (regular glue stick or Elmer’s washable glue) on the printer bed in order to strengthen adhesion of the first layer. Do this regardless of your printer bed substrate.
• Tape?: Yes, as with the glue, we recommend using blue painter’s tape or similar to create a good gripping surface for nylon.
