Product Details
Autopilot is the easiest and most complete way to automate your own mini-manufacturing system. 3D printers are being used more and more for short-run manufacturing and with Autopilot, your desktop machine can now be used as part of an automated production system. This tool allows you to fine-tune a bed clearing procedure that is carried out after each print is finished as well as how many times to print a specific object.
Note: If you have a subscription to MatterControl Pro Autopilot is already included.

Questions
The width of the spool is quite narrow compared to the Bambu spools which leaves little of the rim beyond the coiled filament. This causes feeding problems on the AMS. Is there any chance that the spools will eb changed to work better with the AMS or could this be offered on cardboard refills compatible with Bambu spools in the future?
Is this a Nylon 6, 6/6, 12, or 12/12, or something else based nylon?
Do you have any drying instructions for this filament?
Is this a good substitute for Taulman/Xtellar 910?
Is Red PRO Series Nylon Filament - 1.75mm Acetone resistant?
We ordered a spool of white nylon PRO series in June 2023 and it definitely has a warmer yellow tone to it than the spool pictured. Has there been a change to the white color and is it now cooler toned, more like white PETG or white PLA that have more blue overtones? We are looking for a cooler white color, if that's even possible with nylon.
How does the MatterHackers PRO nylon compare to Taulman 910?
Anyone succeeded printing a part larger than 6" on glass with this filament without significant warping? I have tried bed temps of 60 up to 80, no fan, with a fresh PVA glue layer, and the warp is very bad in all cases.
It is prone to warping. I am able to get it to stick to the build tak, but it lifts the steel plate from the magnets. I had to clip it to the bed frame.67 c on bed temp. Trying 75c on bed temp. Would it help to lower bed temp after X amount of layers?
Can you tell me what specific kind of nylon this is? PA11? PA12? Something else? Thanks.
is this glossy or matte
Can it be kept dry enough in a tub with desiccant?
Does this material have a UL 94 flammability rating? If so what is it?
