[EMS Discuss] New nylon filament for existing 3-D printers.

[Kassandra Kaplan]

Nylon is a great material!

Just a word of warning, ptfe parts (lining of the hotend) will start decompose at near 260 and release toxic gases.  Ideal extrusion temp for nylon is 250-260.  Watch out for flu like symptoms!
