Nylon-GF, maker-undisclosed polyamide is glass-fibre-filled nylon whose makers do not name the polyamide. A maker sells it for industrial tooling and end-use parts, and its HDT at 0.45 MPa is 152 °C. A maker notes that its mechanical properties may change with absorbed moisture. On the H2C a maker's sheet asks for a hardened nozzle and for drying the filament before it prints.
Thinly documented Three products, with values from three makers' documents: Markforged's, Filamatrix's and Eumakers's. Read each figure as a few sheets' word.

What makers say about printing it
From makers: moisture sensitivity and adhesion between layers
Moisture sensitivity
The mechanical properties of Onyx GF may change based on the moisture absorbed from its ambient environment.
Markforged Onyx GF, data sheet, p. 2Increased moisture content will result in a more durable part, behavior that is typical of nylon-based materials.
Markforged Onyx GF, data sheet, p. 2
Adhesion between layers
In tension, most parts are strongest when the print orientation and loading direction are parallel, and weakest when the print orientation and loading direction are perpendicular.
Markforged Onyx GF, data sheet, p. 2
Products
Three products from three makers: Eumakers, Filamatrix and Markforged.
Uses, limitations and chemicals
What it is sold for
Onyx GF is a chopped-glass-fiber-filled nylon filament built for industrial tooling and end-use parts.
Markforged Onyx GF, data sheet, p. 1It delivers the surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and print reliability of Onyx with added functional color and non-conductive properties.
Markforged Onyx GF, data sheet, p. 1
What makers warn about
The mechanical and thermal properties of Onyx GF may vary with print orientation.
Markforged Onyx GF, data sheet, p. 2
Finish and accuracy
Available in six colors, Onyx GF brings visual differentiation to the factory floor without added process steps.
