Nylon Based Ice9 Filament
Ice9 Rigid is a nylon-based thermally conductive filament with temperature stability above 150°C. It is not electrically conductive but has a thermal conductivity of 4 W/m-K in the print direction. It works well with most standard FDM printers (with nozzles that can achieve at least 270°C print temperature). Ice9 Rigid is ideal for applications that require high-temperature stability and thermal conductivity, such as heat sinks, cooling fins, and other heat dissipation components.
