Polymaker glass fiber nylon just became my favorite filament. I recently mixed ASA and PA-GF for a functional print and found the ASA shrank enough that the interface with the PA-GF part needed filing to work smoothly. The ASA requires a large brim and breaks itself free from the bed as it cools after printing. That's a lot of shrinkage. I didn't measure but it seemed to be about 0.5mm per 100mm. The PA-GF comes out hotter but prints to a cooler bed so its final size after cooling was slightly larger than the ASA part and my pegs and slots were slightly misaligned. The PA-GF prints on glass witgh glue stick and this beats my cheap rolled aluminum PEI sheet bed in flatness. My first layers on glass are absolutely perfect. It also stays stuck as it cools so resuming a print is actually an option. It has a beautiful matte finish and without ironing the rectilinear top has a flawless corduroy texture that I wouldn't want to hide if I could. It prints wonderfully on an open printer. Sadly it only comes in grey. Matterhackers had colored glass nylon but at twice the price.

@MatthiasWelsh 3 года назад

Very timely video, I've been trying out the same filament and prints have been going really well, but I'm getting quite a bit of post print warping as the part cools down. My enclosure isn't totally enclosed at the moment so once the bed head drops I think it might be cooling too quickly on me. My enclosure is slightly larger than the table I've been using for the printer for so there's a little overhang in the rear that I'll have fixed shortly with a table topper that should allow for a slower cool down. Once my current print wraps up I'm going to try stepping down the bed temperature slowly to see if that fixes. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

@cdow875 3 года назад

I built a dry box for use in my Creality enclosure but found it was not necessary as the humidity dropped to around 10% inside the enclosure after heating the enclosure with the build plate. This simplified my workflow as I simply need to remove any hydroscopic filament from a vacuum bag and use the spool holder on the Ender 3. A dry box is not needed. It also allows me to use a low friction bearing type spool holder improving my print quality further. The humidity will start rising once the temperature drops so it's a good idea to remove the filament and place it back in a vacuum bag once the print job is done.

@ModBotArmy 3 года назад

Awesome that is a very simple solution.

@gitss7367 3 года назад

I found the same thing. I need to heat for nylon and ABS prints but now I turn on the heat to 50% when I do PetG printing and it drops to 20% humidity while printing

@FriendlyNeighborhoodDogman 2 года назад

Huh, I knew that the creality enclosure managed to retain a good amount of heat due to convective heat transfer from nozzle and bed, but I didn’t realize that it could act as a drybox. Thanks for that info!

@gizmobowen 3 года назад

I have the same hot end/extruder on my Ender 3. I don't remember seeing the recommended retraction setting from MicroSwiss. Would you mind sharing them? My machine works ok but I'm not sure my retraction settings are quite as well dialed in as they could be. Thanks for making this video.

Any reason for glass bed is nylon damaging to normal beds?

@saschaschneider6355 3 года назад

Thanks for the great video! One thing worries me about this material: I've heard that with carbon fiber material those fibers get spread around. If that happens with glass it's an even worse health risk when inhaled. Anyone know if that's happening because then you'd certainly would want an enclosure with ventilation and filters

@ModBotArmy 3 года назад

This is a valid concern. I have seen so many different things about this. Looking at reports they often contradict eachother. One thing I will say is being safe is always the best option. If you can enclose and vent then by all means I would say that is a great way to go.

@ChristianDybdahlXTR 3 года назад

@@ModBotArmy It is necessary to have an enclosure and vent, I printed with a material in which I regard as better all the way through than Nylon. The material is called PBT+ and has fibers as well - it printed surprisingly well but since there weren't any hazard warnings i thought it had the same VOC level as PLA, but I was wrong. I was smashed for 3 days, as if you got an allergic reaction. But if you vent etc. then no problem. BTW PBT has some of the best material properties for 3D printing, it is almost isotropic without anealing which is almost unheard of in the 3d printing community also has it's glass transition temperature at 120 degrees celcius but has a lower Tensile modulus than PETG. It also doesn't really warp as long as you follow the minor guidelines as with PETG, it also has a really low thermal expansion coefficient which is nice so it doesn't delaminate. PS. PBT is hydrophobic - so it doesn't absorb moisture as Nylon..

@carbide1968 3 года назад

Do you have to change the firmware to adjust the temperature higher to the hotend or is the microswiss just plug and play?

@Shep01 2 года назад

You can plug it in and it will work but your factory firmware and settings haven't changed. To update the temperatures and abilities after you have modded the hot end to be all metal. For example... I had a artillery sidewinder. I use Marlin. I downloaded. Marlins base firmware. And then using a virtual Arduino. I modded the thermistor setting to a 11 or 13 because I got a winsinn type thermistor. And then added a new max temp. Then I compiled that into hex and flashed it on to my printer via prusa slicer firmware flash. And then I had to tweak my printers screen firmware to allow for my new max temp. Then a little testing to confirm it works as intended and then off to the races.

@stuartlark6441 3 года назад

I want to print surfboard fins for competition boards that are usually made from fibreglass, do you think this glass filled nylon will work better than PETG or Carbon fibre filament?

@ModBotArmy 3 года назад

Hmm that is a tough one. I would definitely say a nylon is going to have higher strength. I anticipate tensile would be more important than impact so carbon would likely be my attempted material.

@Mrtickleberries 3 года назад

How does nylon stand up to water and heat Ive got a broken dishwasher part I want to replace wanting something that's not going to deform under the heat.

@ModBotArmy 3 года назад

In general pretty good heat resistance so I think it may be fine (dont know how hot a dishwasher gets). It will absorb water but it should not be enough to cause issues as far as the part functioning properly. Also glass will not damage the bed the nylon does not like to stick to much which is why the glass is used. (Nylon likes glass with gluestick)

Everything you do with carbon fiber and glass nylon, couldn’t you just do it with ASA?

@ModBotArmy 3 года назад

Depends on the application. ASA is fantastic but I would argue that it is not quite as strong. Also can depend on things like chemicals as Nylon does really well with many chemicals. I do love me some ASA though.

@woodendoorgarage 2 года назад

PA-GF and PA-CF is pretty much easiest material to print if you need excellent chemical resistance and good heat resistance. PA is strong and cheap plastic that ignores every automotive fluid used except silicon grease and survives well in engine compartment. Continuous use temperature is also much higher. ASA is about 90°C, average PA6-GF30 has limit around 150°C. ASA is still much easier to print.
