A nylon filament
Nylon is a synthetic polymer that is flexible and soft with a natural translucent surface color. It has high strength and is tear resistant. It also has an excellent resistance to chemicals, but it can be colored with acid-based clothing dyes.
Printing with a bed temperature from 60 to 70 degrees Celsius is helpful. Shrinkage is similar to an ABS filament.
There are three different varieties sold. They are as follows:
- Taulman 618: The average temperature for 3D extrusion should be around 245 degrees Celsius. It does not stick to glass or aluminium print beds. Use a Garolite sheet or an unfinished hardwood (such as poplar) to print on.
- Taulman 645: The average temperature for 3D extrusion should be around 230 to 265 degrees Celsius. It has high strength, durability, and is more transparent than Taulman 618. It requires a Garolite bed or substitute with wood.
- Taulman Bridge: The average temperature for 3D extrusion should be around 235 to 260 degrees Celsius. It easily adheres...
