It is low friction coefficient with the strength of injection molded parts. Flexible when thin and with the ability to bond incredibly well, Nylon is great to print functional parts with (such as hinges or gears.)</div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;"> <br /></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"> Nylon needs an all-metal hot end in order to print at temperatures above 240 C. A heated bed is also recommended as nylon has a tendency to warp like ABS.</div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;"> <br /></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"> As nylon absorbs water from the air you must make sure that it is dry before you print. Dry nylon prints smoothly with a glossy finish. When water absorbed nylon is printed, the water in the filament causes air bubbles during printing that prevents good layer adhesion, weakens the part and ruins the surface finish.</div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;"> <br /></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"> <b>Recommended print settings:</b></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;"> <br /></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"> | Extrusion Temperature | 240-260 C |</div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"> | Print Bed Temperature | 70 - 80 C |</div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"> | Speed | 30-60 mm/s |</div> <br /> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"> | Layer Height | 0.2mm - 0.4mm |</div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"> <br /></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"> <b>Preorder our new X3D Nylon filament here: <a href="https://www.x3d.com.au/store/product/29276-x3d-premium-nylon-white-1-75mm-b-1kg-b-">https://www.x3d.com.au/store/product/29276-x3d-premium-nylon-white-1-75mm-b-1kg-b-</a></b></div> </div>
