...
We use it for most of the printed parts on the HS3, ranging from cable chain mounts to the front display housing.

The Good
High feature detail, good printability overall
High z strength , 85% to isotropic
Prints fast, deposition rate of 1kg/24hrs
...
Above 60°C continuously, it tends to creep under high loads.
Not stiff/strong enough to replace “metal” parts without a significant redesign of the part/assembly
Wears out quickly when sliding continuously → Hinges OK, Gears not OK

CF-Nylon
CF-Nylon uses nylon 12 as a base and is our stiffest material; it's used for high strength and high temp applications.
...
We use the CF-Nylon on all the printed parts on the HS3 printhead due to the high-temperature exposure.

The Good
Low moisture absorption → https://pantheondesign.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/docsDSBM/pages/670564368673972360/Pantheon+Filaments+and+Material+Handling#Nylon-moisture-absorption-testingFilaments#Nylon-Moisture-Absorption-Testing
Super stiff → 8150 MPa Young's Modulus (Tensile modulus)
Highly dimensionally stable
highly resistant to hydrocarbons, alkalis, fats, oils, fuel, ethers, esters, and ketones
...
Parts printed in CF-Nylon will scratch objects it rubbed against
Nylon 12 has low surface energy, making glueing gluing more challenging
it has a lower print speed than our CF-PETG by about 35%
does not like thin walls, minimum 2.5 mm

GF-Nylon
(Glass Fiber) GF-Nylon uses nylon 12 as a base; we use this material for the application of high wear. ie gears, sliding interfaces.
It shares many of the benefits of out CF-Nylon, but trades a bit of tensile strength for wear resistance and lubricity
