Hello George, thanks for offering your knowledge. I have been trying to print with nylon gears for a little now and been having mixed results I was wondering if you might be able to offer some assistance.
First off I am using Nylon¶ from Filaments.ca with the recommendations of;
Nozzle 230-270C
Bed 90-100C
I print at 50mm/s but have tried slightly more and less. I Have Found the best results at 280C and the bed at 50C(using gluestick on a wham-bam) Print width between .5-.7mm using a 4mm nozzle. I am using a direct drive with 0 retractions. and a layer height of .28, but I have tried .2-.3. No cooling. I have found 100% infill to work the best so far
So the problem I am having is mostly with layer separation, it seems no matter what I do I can just peel the layers apart with my nails. I have had some issues with warping but not too much. I also tend to get a split in the layers around 1mm from the bed on EVERY print no matter the settings. I have found better results with more “squish” but then my parts no longer fit the accuracy I need.
any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks!!
