Review on 1 inch Polymaker PA6-GF Nylon Filament by Dustin Woodrow

It's awesome. I could stop here, but I'll tell you why. The parts come off the assembly platform ready to use, with minimal post-processing here and there (probably due to my own ribbon settings and preference for very hot and slow printing). The parts are lightweight yet very strong with excellent heat resistance and amazing tactile qualities. Layer lines are almost non-existent and I should add that I usually print with a 0.6 nozzle diameter with 0.2 to 0.36 layers depending on the part. Swiss hotend, pressure at 290c on the nozzle, 45c on the bed. I used a sheet of Garolite bonded to a sheet of borosilicate glass with Magigoo PA to adhere/peel the surface. Some large contact area parts were a bit more difficult to remove, but nothing that would cause any damage. Maybe PVA glue is better for loosening, I just haven't tried it yet. What surprises me is the ZERO distortion. This is the only nylon that I can print borderless. Except for the temperature difference, to be honest, it's just as easy, if not easier, than any PETG or PLA I've worked with. So far Polymaker has replaced my previous favorite yarns in every category except for unreinforced nylon where Taulman 910 is still my favorite. But. I haven't had a chance to try Polymakers CoPA yet, so that's likely to change. Seriously, try this stuff. It's expensive, yes. It's cheaper than MH (you know who you are) and way better. I'll try PA6-GF soon as it's noticeably cheaper and frankly can't be any worse than NylonG.
