Fishy Filaments™ aims to provide a win-win solution to fishing communities by taking end-of-life fishing gear and transforming it into commercially viable products that have the potential for a multitude of uses.

High Quality 3D Printer Filament Made From 100% Recycled Marine Nylon™
Our 3D printer filament is proving popular in many different applications, from hobbyists and artists to professional product designers and even heavy industry. In our gallery we showcase some of the most interesting designs that have been submitted. If you’d like to submit your own image or video, please send us a message or post to our Facebook page and we’ll be happy to share.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it smell of fish?
No. Our proprietary washing process removes both salt and marine algae from the nets before they are re-melted at over 200°C.
If it’s recycled, is it still strong?
Yes. Mechanical tests carried out by an independent ISO accredited laboratory show that our filament is actually stronger than many unbranded first-use nylons currently on the market. That test data is available on the Technical Data Sheet along with recommended printing parameters.
Is there a bulk-buy discount?
Resellers and bulk buyers should contact us directly to discuss their needs.
Can I subscribe?
At present we have no subscription service.
Can I get user support ?
Nylon is a technically challenging material and not recommended for novice 3D printers but we’re happy to help if we can, of course.
