Due to its abrasiveness, we recommend using hardened steel nozzles for the PA6 filament from BASF Ultrafuse. This filament is compatible with the new CC Red Core from Ultimaker. The unique feature of the CC Red Core is its 0.6 mm nozzle with a ruby insert, which ensures long-term wear resistance against abrasive materials such as the XSTRAND PA6 filament. This nylon filament offers both very high strength and good heat resistance. Excellent adhesion between the layers is ensured during printing. This material is ideal for mechanical components used in finished products. Note: Owens Corning’s filament division was acquired by the German chemical company BASF at the end of 2020. As part of the acquisition, the name was changed to “BASF Ultrafuse XSTRAND Filaments.” The material quality and composition remain unchanged.
