PolySupport™
for PA12
PolySupport™ for PA12 is a break away support for Polymaker PA12 based
filaments, such as PolyMide ™ PA12-CF. It has a perfect interface with long-chain
Polyamide, strong enough to support it and easily removable by hand.

8 (h)* Based on 0.4 mm nozzle and Simplify 3D v.4.0. Printing conditions may vary with different nozzle diameters

Note:--Abrasion of the brass nozzle happens when printing PolySupport™ for PA12.
Normally, the life of a brass nozzle would be approximately 9h. A wearresistance nozzle, such as hardened steel and ruby nozzle, is highly
recommended to be used with PolySupport™ for PA12.
PolySupport™ for PA12 is sensitive to moisture and should always be stored
and used under dry conditions (relative humidity below 20%).
