Nylon printing

Hello,

I just installed a Z-temp (and Z-bed), i hoped it would help to print with nylon (Taulman bridge) material...

Does someone as good results with this material? the raft print very fine, then few minutes later, the wire stop coming (the motor wheel slide on the nylon wire)
The raft easily come out from the heat-bed, but is impossible to remove from the printed part.

Am i losing time when trying to use nylon? or someone did manage to obtain good results?

Thank you for your answers.

I've printed with Bridge, but I don't like it. It prints nicely at 245º but layer adhesion is terrible - parts just fall apart. 618 and 645 are much stronger but they warp a lot, depending on your part's geometry. My favorite by far is PCTPE - it's more flexible than the others and you can make "living hinges" with it, but in thicker sections with infill it can be quite stiff. Prints great at 235º, doesn't warp much, and support comes off relatively easily.

vincent:
Thank you for yout answer  :)
So i will try PCTPE nylon now, i hope it wont be too flexible.
Do you change the distance between the extruder and the heat bed ? (about 0.5mm)
Or do you keep it standard?
im trying to print the attached piece.

Julia Truchsess:
No need to increase the initial layer height with PCTPE, you can leave it standard.

vincent:
thank you for your answer  :) , i will try it and post the picture of the result.
would you advice ABS settings or glass stettings?  :-\
