Product Description
** Please note that we are experiencing supply chain issues and availability of some filament products is currently limited **
Porthcurno is our premium blend of 100% recycled Cornish Nylon, recovered from a single type of high strength nylon nets.
When printed as thin sheets it works exceptionally well in applications where flexibility, translucency or dye-ability are useful attributes.
Its light blue-green colour and highly translucent quality mean that it will take a wide range of off-the-shelf dyes extremely well.
When printed as solid bodies it is strong and stiff.
You will require equipment to dry the filament before use and we recommend that you use filament drying equipment while printing too.
