Review on 🔵 LulzBot Taulman Reel Filament in Black by Paul Gravely

I needed to make a group of high strength, high temperature prototypes for a client (I have a small start up and also several consulting clients). It took a bit of adjustment to get perfect prints, so allow some time to tweak the settings. However, once I hooked it up, I had no issues with the build platform warping and I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. It compresses a bit, but I've seen worse with ABS. I suggest starting with the settings recommended by Toulman. I have found that increasing the temperature to 255°C compared to 250°C increases layer adhesion and the layer temperature should not exceed 45°C when using glue stick/PVA and printing with one edge. Nylon is prone to seepage/stretching, so you will need to adjust the retraction and travel speeds. I have several printers, but for that I used Ultimaker 2+. The material is odorless, although there is research that nylon releases some particles that can irritate your respiratory system. I personally found no problems after a week of working next to the printer in my design studio. Follow the recommendations for drying the material. I had quality issues until I broke it and toaster dried it at 200F for 8 hours - it made a world of difference. The support material settings also need to be adjusted - nylon is VERY strong so it's very tiring to remove material that's printed too close. It can be sharp even when soft, but it's generally not as sharp as PLA when it breaks. Overall very durable, very stiff, prints well, prints fast. Taulman answered a few questions and pointed me in the right direction in Settings.
