- First part in a series of videos on 3d printing Nylon.
Nylon has excellent impact strength and is flexible and tough, making it a fantastic choice for functional parts.
I print a part for my Turbocharged Miata using Taulman Bridge Nylon on my Prusa I3 Mk2.
Printing Nylon requires a dry environment or drybox to store the filament in for longer prints. In the second part of this series I build a dry box or storing the filament while printing.

You've just convinced me to print nylon
So... How strong is nylon then???
Wow...no love for my choice in free techno music from sound cloud...🙂 UA-cam says I just unlocked the ability to do polls, maybe I should make a poll for the genre of my background music. On a side note I did learn how to balance my audio levels and use the multiband compressor to help even out the lows and highs of my dialogue and am paying closer attention to balancing my music and dialogue audio tracks.
I liked the music during the print lol.
It's not the choice of music, it's the volume vs your speaking volume. You have the music too loud.
Taking feedback like a g
I actually liked the intro..
Sounds like an old sega game
Tip 1: printable filament its PA12
Tip 2: make spool in hot continer in time on you print something prehoted filament its beter
Tip 3: Nylon printed element must by stored for two weeks on atmosfer nylon need drink water slowly, to be strong. If you stress nylon print quickly you broke simply .... wait 2 weeks for full strong resistance.
Tip 4: sorry for my english ;)
Tip 5: dont make extruder too hot above 255degr C 260 degradate structurs off nylon.
Importand not stress end tuoch printed parts for 2 weeks ;) if you don belive tray your selfe print 2 same elements ent tray broke in diferent times.
Thanks for the good advice . I just ordered my 1st roll of nylon
Fun fact. Most gears in garage door openers are made out of nylon.
DUDE you got everything covered man. Really well put together video (despite very loud music). I have been looking to print with nylon and watching this helped me feel more confident.
+LICK_THE_BUTTER Thanks I have a few more tricks for printing Nylon that I hope to get posted soon. I'm working on the music volume and I'll try and do better with the mixing in the future.
Why all the noize?
Would it be good to use that Nylon to make a small 30mm and 107 teeth 0.5 mm high gear? I have tried PLA and the teeth are not well defined.
Regarding needing a drybox, I've actually had no issues with water absorption on long prints. Pretty sure it entirely depends on how climate controlled your workspace is.
No issue with nylon and long prints? What's your climate/environment like?
@@SafetyGlassesRequired
Climate controlled basement workshop kept at around 72-74 degrees F and 30 to 40% humidity. The whole basement has its own separate air conditioning and heating zone from the rest of the house.
I've printed nylon on a markforged printer in a climate controlled lab and had nylon absorb enough moisture over time (a few months) in the drybox with the small hole for the filament (but with saturated dessicant) that print quality significantly decreased. Lots of stringing and poor layer adhesion. Likely depends on many things, which brand of nylon filament, what your printing, your environment. Most manufacturers if not all manufacturers of nylon filament recommend drybox storage. The drybox for printing is just extra insurance for expensive filament.
@@SafetyGlassesRequired
At the moment, I've been printing Matterhackers NylonX on a TAZ 5 with an upgraded nozzle with pretty good layer adhesion and very little stringing. Multiple print jobs, but for all intents and purposes I've been printing stuff for five days straight as of today. I'm in a bit of a build rush for a robot combat competition coming up this February.
I guess the filament being 20% Carbon Fiber by weight helps somewhat, though. I probably wouldn't be getting nearly as good results if I was running straight Nylon.
I like the video and the Music! Thanks for the information.. I'm Printing Nylon as well.. I don't have my box built yet.. Hopefully soon I Will...
your Channel is highly under rated!
+Venture Fabrications thanks!
0:34 I hit it like 5 times
It was actually six (sorry for my OCD)
cool video dude and nice music
Love the cleveland hat
amazing stuff...Thx for the demo.
You like Miatas and 3d printing functional Nylon parts. Same...We share some really off the wall similar interests.
Insert *did we just become best friends * gif from Step Brothers. 👍Awesome.
Do you wanna go do karate in the garage?
Yup!
More miata fans huh, a good tip is to paint the parts with the molotow paint refils and then clear them with alclad. You can make very realistic looking chrome, steel, copper, brass parts for things like shift knobs, hvac nobs, ect. and a way lower cost.
are you printing directly on bed without glass or plate???
Hows that printer working out for you? I'm looking to buy one. Also, did you test tensile strength?
Prusa has been great. Probably the most consistent print quality of my 4 printers. Only has needed typical maintenance, nozzles, replaced pei sheet, one thermistor. No tensile tests... I guess I could have rigged up something crude to do a tensile test but I trust the published data and the other bloggers/UA-camrs who have tested it. The parts on my car are still working great no failures.
I like the music nice video
And… how did it work out? Did you end up using it, or did you go with the machined delrin part?
+Runoratsu it's worked great. 3d printed part is still on the car. Hopefully I can make a video about them and some of the other 3d printed car parts I've made.
I have a 3d printed nylon lug nut for my spare tire on my fj
I saw a picture of your workbench online. Can you make a video about it and how the trailer hitches work?
+JoshPCsAndTech awesome! where did you see the picture? That's a great idea. I spent a lot of time designing that work bench years ago before I was making YT vids. I will do that.
Thanks! I saw it on a forum somewhere, don't remember what it was called.
You're not supposed to print on that surface. There should be a removable metal plate.
This video was created before prusa had removable flex steel beds. This printer I'm the video was a mk2s prior to that style of bed. The newer machines with flex steel sheets you would be correct but this fied prior to that feature.

Super vidéo +1 abonné ;)
Le setup autour de l'imprimante est super intéressant, la boite pour sécher le filament aussi je vais regarder ta vidéo pour la faire :)
+3Day Printing merci
Can I send u a spear tip so u can copy and make one out of nylon
My type of genius...U do it yet?
Hello thanks for video. I need special 3 printer for use nylox. Can you recommend ?
MakerGear m2 or m3, Prusa i3 mk3s are all excellent choices and I have printed nylon on both.
what do you have your 3d printer inside looks interesting
+bentlikeitsmaker it's an old industrial PC cabinet. I got it from a friend who bought it from an auction at work. I plan on doing a video about it soon.
Newbie question alert!Which is stronger in terms of impact and abrasion-resistance: nylon, ABS or other?
Was wondering because I was thinking of getting into 3D printing to make custom motorcycle body armour (like cosplay but actually strong enough to be CE rated).
nylon is like unbreakable indestructible compared to ABS
Thanks.
But now I have another question (and I hope the answer will be useful to everyone): I hear that nylon slowly degrades in sunlight (although I hear there is also UV-resistant nylons).
This would mean that items printed in nylon would not be suitable for prolonged outdoor usage, right??
So, in this case, would ABS be better for outdoor usage?
Also, how about polycarbonate? I hear it is extremely tough, too -- stronger than nylon, I've heard.
@@cakeshoe
The thing is, most plastics degrade in sunlight. UV radiation has a bad effect on polymers. And as bad as most nylons are when exposed to UV radiation, ABS is actually worse.
As for polycarbonate, it's a really tough material but it shatters easily on a hard impact and it's a total pain in the ass to print. If you need that kind of durability combined with better rigidity than nylon, I'd recommend a carbon fiber infused nylon like Markforged Onyx, Matterhackers NylonX or Taulman Alloy960, or a relatively stiff nylon like Alloy910.
Is that enclosure with space heaters a necessary requirement to prunt nylon?
+Captain Katawa enclosure certainly should help control warping. Depending on how cold the location where your printer is located is the space heaters may or may not be necessary. My printers are in my garage in Ohio where it gets quiet cold in winter . So the heaters help to maintain a 85f-100f environment. The bed heater on most printers in a decently warm environment should help without the help of the heaters.
Thanks
your know what's better graphene
Hi, great vid. What is the phone app used to get stats and video footage from the prusa i3?
+martyn taylor I am using a raspberry pi to control the i3 with Octoprint. The "app" is just the web interface through the Chrome browser in my phone.
Thanks for the reply, now looking into it, thanks.
roll tribe
erstmal schön aufs Heizbett drucken :D
How's this compare to ABS?
+Stefan Smith much more durable. Depending on the nylon it can be stiffer as well.
Where did you score the alcohol pump??
+xhorntail Amazon. There is a link in the description since I can't put a link down here.
Safety Glasses Required Thank ya good sir!
What did that part do to you?
It warped on the printer...
What about PC ?
I hear it's another strong material I have never tried printing with it. Have you tried it?
The next episode (bakelita) 😉
Wish I knew how it turned out
Watch the 3d printed car parts video for a follow up.
****WolfBite NITRO****
I tried wolf bite nitro and didn't have great luck. I didn't spend long iterating to try different settings but it wasn't the silver bullet I was hoping for. I have recently been experimenting with Vision Miner Nano Polymer adhesive and have pretty good luck with simply coating the PEI sheet on the bed and hitting print and getting "mostly" warp free nylon parts. I wouldn't set them on a machine flat surface and call it flat but it's good enough.
HOLLYSHT THAT MUSIC IS AWESOME.
Terrible.
Settings?
I added them to the comments. But they were also listed at 2:43.
Looking more for temps..
Sorry I forgot those. Extruder 240 first layer, 250 for all the rest. Bed 90 first layer, 50 for all the rest. Healthy amount of glue stick on the bed as well.
not subbing cause I like my eardrums. why play music so loud and the talking parts are not?
+Zeke Urness I'm sorry to hear that. On my end the volumes levels are pretty closely matched between speaking and music. What device are you listening on?
Having the same. Im listening on my Headset mostly but sometimes on my speakers as well. Both have the same issues. The Music blasts away my Ears and the Speaking is low volume.
I'll take a closer look at this. With my headphones and speakers it still seems good on my end. Let me do some more testing. Thanks for letting me know!
TinkerOwl I'll do a better job of making sure my levels are better matched in Adobe premiere when editing from now on. I'm still pretty new to video production.
yea tunes about 20% too loud on my system (vs dialog)
Please balance your audio. Nylon is such a pain the in fkn ass. Warping is always the issue.
+Michael Strong new videos have better balanced audio. Check out my video on nylon bed adhesion.
Sorry but the music make the video unwatchable.
Good vid, just stop the hideous music! try a voice over.
Zero on the music, thumbs on on the video
You surely did not go into enough detail about printing nylon.
There are other videos I've released that cover more info like how to build a drybox and how to make a bed for your printer that nylon will adhere to. What are you having trouble with? Machine specific settings like temp, speed, retraction, extrusion multiplier, etc will vary and I simply used the nylon settings built into the slicers for my machines.
Music 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Quit the noize
No music? Different music? Less volume on the music?
