Yes!

We recommend leaving the part cooling fans off when printing Nylon.

Hi @Guest!

Hi @bbrown!

We do not, unfortunately, have this data.
I was able to locate the TDS for this material from the manufacturer here --> http://taulman3d.com/nylon-230-spec.html

A 1.75 spool will be delivered.

After a physical test this morning, I can report that Nylon 230 held up very well to warm acetone (~50°C). It did not dissolve, but very much held its shape and only very slightly softened (read: just a little more flexible) after 30 minutes in acetone, 15 of which was heated.

Answers to these questions vary wildly, depending on the slice settings used. It is possible to have both support material come off easily and no stringing, but requires optimized settings-- which vary from printer to printer.

Taulman does not release information about the materials used in their filament, so unfortunately we do not have an answer to this question.

You may want to add a raft or brim to help mitigate the curling. Please refer to https://www.matterhackers.com/news/-how-to-stop-filament-warping-in-3d-printed-parts.

On any filament that wants to curl you should always add a brim at a minimum. If you really want to be sure then add a raft that sticks out 10 mm all around. That can really help. I am printing some air ducts for the cr10 right now at 110 bed temp and 260 nozzle temp in ABS It is starting to lift but less then a mm at the edge so the rest of the print will be fine. I'll probably temper it in an oven later for strength since my ABS really hates adhering to itself.

Revisiting this filament on a Prusa i3 mk2s now that I can run a hotter bed temp than with my previous printer, a Monoprice mini. Even at 95C bed with raft, seeing catastrophic warping early into the print. Maybe this filament can't work with a PEI bed. Can't imagine it working under any circumstances without bed heating, as claimed by Taulman.

The best surface for any Nylon is another Nylon such as Garolite. Otherwise, you will most likely struggle with some type of warping.

I purchased this too because it claimed it could be used without a bed heating.

but i'm having very bad warping problems. I've printed on tape. tape with glue. slowed speeds down to 20mm/s printed on GR10-FR4 with glue stick. added mouse ears in addition to the brim i used every time.

Printing very nicely on ender 3 pro. No heat bed. Elmer glue

According to Taulman, Nylon 230 has excellent dye uptake or saturation properties.

Yes.

This filament has FDA approval for direct food contact.

No, it cannot

I guess that depends on your definition of "withstand".

100C is above the glass transition temperature of nylon, so it will soften and could deform.

It won't disintegrate or come apart, though, and if it's thick and no force is applied to it, it would likely remain unchanged once it cools

This has been easier for me to load in than pla. Sometimes I have trouble with pla so this has been great.

There's no difference between them in that regard.
