Magigoo PA
Polyamide (nylon) filaments — including PA6, PA12, PA66 and their glass or carbon-fibre reinforced counterparts — are prized for their strength, toughness and chemical resistance, but their low adhesion to conventional build surfaces and high tendency to warp make them notoriously difficult to print. Magigoo PA was developed specifically to solve this, giving nylon-based filaments the firm first-layer grip they need during printing, while still releasing cleanly once the bed cools.

Designed for reliable first-layer adhesion with PA12 filaments while allowing easy part removal after printing.
Provides strong adhesion for PA6 filaments, helping reduce warping and print failures.
Suitable for PA66 filaments, providing reliable bed adhesion during printing.
Suitable for glass and carbon-fibre reinforced PA filaments, providing improved first-layer adhesion.
The same easy-application chemistry as every Magigoo — engineered for nylon-based filaments prone to warping.
Shake the bottle for 3–5 seconds. Press the nib against the cold build plate to activate the spring valve. Spread one thin stripe back and forth — the goal is even coverage, not thickness.
No drying time needed. Print according to your filament manufacturer's recommendations — increasing the nozzle or bed temperature by 5–10°C for the first layer can aid adhesion.
Let the bed cool completely — the print should pop right off without tools.

Yes. Magigoo PA has been developed and tested with a range of PA types, including specialty grades such as Luvocom® 3F PAHT 9825 NT (unreinforced), PAHT CF 9891 BK (carbon-fibre reinforced) and PAHT KK 50056 BK FR (flame-retardant), alongside standard PA6, PA12 and PA66 filaments.
As a PA print gets larger, thermal stresses can build up and put more force on the first layer. Check that the build plate temperature remains stable and that the printing environment does not experience significant temperature changes during the print.
Yes. Moisture in nylon can affect print quality, mechanical properties and printing behaviour, which can also make achieving consistent adhesion more difficult. Dry the filament according to the manufacturer's recommendations before printing. For hygroscopic materials like nylon, Drywise can help by drying the filament inline during printing, maintaining the filament in a dry state throughout the process and reducing the impact of moisture on print consistency.
No. Magigoo PA should be applied to a cool, clean build plate. Applying it while the bed is hot can affect the application and may damage the applicator.
The most common cause is bed temperature being too low. Try increasing in 5–10°C increments until you find the sweet spot. Also check:
Bed is likely too hot. Decrease the bed temperature in 5–10°C increments. Elephant's foot (where the first few layers bulge out) usually disappears once you find the right temperature.
This usually happens when the bottle was squeezed instead of pressed. The applicator is designed to release product only when the nib is pressed down. Just push it back firmly — it should snap back into place.
For future use, remember: press, don't squeeze.
