Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Enhanced Dimensional Accuracy Yellow Printer Filament by Kyle Hoes

Large Nylon Filament

When I first started printing with nylon I read about Taulman3D filament and it has pretty solid reviews. I bought a Prusa Mini Plus in May and tried different materials for RC parts. My first test print was printed at 235c and 55c (with good coverage with Elmer's glue stick). The test print worked great. My second print went great for the first 5-6 coats. After a few hours I had some clicks again but no extrusion. After checking everything, I found that the nylon inside the printer had absorbed moisture and was not slipping on the teflon tubing. I cut off the "thicker" pieces and skip the nylon again. It worked fine. I store nylon in a dry box with a few pounds of quartz balls. I don't think I kept it long enough to dry completely. I've ordered a dehydrator to put the spool in when I'm going to use the nylon to dry it well before printing and during printing. (I don't trust using an oven) I printed a few smaller parts after waiting another day and there were no issues other than minimal cotton which told me the nylon was still holding moisture. The nylon seems very strong for the few details I printed. Can't wait for it to dry and print out some big details to review.

Pros
  • Nylon filament for 3D printing. There are some great nylons out there for 3D printing, but many of them are expensive. Nylon 230 is an affordable Taulman3D nylon and the first to print at 230ยฐC.
