Fiberon
Premium engineering composites by Polymaker; CF-nylon and PPS specialist
Fiberon sits at Tier A- - a strong overall pick with tight quality control and a few minor caveats versus pure Tier A brands. We rate them this way because of independent composite guides rank fiberon pa6-cf20 among the strongest accessible desktop cf-nylon options with warp-free printing and engineering-line focus (0.5kg spools, drying requirements, hardened nozzles) rather than broad everyday pla leadership. Materials available from Fiberon include PA6-CF, PA6-GF, PA612-ESD, PET-CF, PETG-rCF, and PPS-CF10. In day-to-day printing, Fiberon stands out for: pa6-cf20 warp-free technology enables cf-nylon without a full enclosure on capable hotends. Spools typically run $45-$80 per kilogram.
Why Tier A-?
- Independent composite guides rank Fiberon PA6-CF20 among the strongest accessible desktop CF-nylon options with warp-free printing
- Engineering-line focus (0.5kg spools, drying requirements, hardened nozzles) rather than broad everyday PLA leadership
Pros
- Polymaker composite sub-brand with published high tensile and HDT specs
- PA6-CF20 warp-free technology enables CF-nylon without a full enclosure on capable hotends
- AMS-compatible cardboard spools noted for Bambu multi-material setups
- Growing engineering catalog including ESD-safe PA612 for jigs and fixtures
Cons
- Requires rigorous drying and often post-print annealing for full mechanical properties
- CF-filled lines need hardened nozzles and are sold in 0.5kg spools only
- Premium pricing versus standard PETG or CF-PLA
Additional Notes
- Polymaker Fiberon line; buy for structural CF-nylon/PPS parts, not decorative PLA
Fiberon Filament FAQ
What materials does Fiberon make?
Fiberon produces filament in the following materials: PA6-CF, PA6-GF, PA612-ESD, PET-CF, PETG-rCF, PPS-CF10, PETG-ESD. Each material is suited to different print applications - check our material database for printing temperatures and specs.
What tier is Fiberon filament rated?
Fiberon is rated Tier A- by Filament Cheat Sheet because of independent composite guides rank fiberon pa6-cf20 among the strongest accessible desktop cf-nylon options with warp-free printing and engineering-line focus (0.5kg spools, drying requirements, hardened nozzles) rather than broad everyday pla leadership.
Is Fiberon good for beginners?
Yes - Fiberon is a strong choice for beginners thanks to consistent quality and reliable printing behavior, though pricing is on the higher end.
What are the pros and cons of Fiberon filament?
Pros of Fiberon: Polymaker composite sub-brand with published high tensile and HDT specs; PA6-CF20 warp-free technology enables CF-nylon without a full enclosure on capable hotends; AMS-compatible cardboard spools noted for Bambu multi-material setups; Growing engineering catalog including ESD-safe PA612 for jigs and fixtures. Considerations: Requires rigorous drying and often post-print annealing for full mechanical properties; CF-filled lines need hardened nozzles and are sold in 0.5kg spools only; Premium pricing versus standard PETG or CF-PLA.
How much does Fiberon filament cost?
Fiberon filament typically costs between $45 and $80 per kilogram, depending on the material and color. Specialty composite or engineering-grade materials sit at the upper end of that range.
Where can I buy Fiberon filament?
Fiberon filament is widely available on Amazon and from major 3D printing retailers. Look for the specific material (e.g. PA6-CF) when buying to ensure correct print settings.
