PolySupport™ for PA12

Engineered for Nylon 12 Compatibility PolySupport™ for PA12 is a breakaway support material specifically designed for Polymaker Nylon 12 (PA12) based filaments. It forms a perfect interface with PA12, providing strong, reliable support during printing and is easily removable by hand after printing- no solvents or special tools required.

Not for Use with PolyMide™ CoPA This support material is intended exclusively for Nylon 12 and long-chain nylon filaments. It should not be used with PolyMide™ CoPA or other non-PA12 nylons.

Ideal for PA12-Based Engineering Prints Choose PolySupport™ for PA12 when you need reliable, easy-to-remove breakaway supports for Nylon 12 and long-chain nylon prints, ensuring clean results and efficient post-processing.

FAQ

Can I use PolySupport™ with other materials than Nylon 12?

We have designed PolySupport™ specifically for Nylon 12. However we had positive customer feedback on using PolySupport™ PA12-CF products as well.

Should not be used with CoPA since that is a copolymer of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6.

Can PolySupport™ dissolve in water?

No, PolySupport™ is a breakaway support: it requires mechanical removal.

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

That said - we will always recommend using a multi nozzle extruder when printing with more than one material type to help prevent clogs.

It is possible to print PA and PolySupport out of a single nozzle but you need to make sure you properly purge all of the previous material when swapping. IDEX or Tool Changer recommended.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?

Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling PLA at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle PLA at this time.

Printing Requirements

• Highly recommended to use a printer with two nozzles - such as an IDEX or Tool Changer. You will have issues with clogging when printing two material types out of a single nozzle.

• All-metal hotend that can reach 270˚C+ required.

Other than that - no requirements! No enclosure, or hardened nozzle required.
