Re: Slic3r Settings for Taulman Bridge Nylon
a word on nylon in general...
when printing you want it as dry as possible...
when in use you want it WET as possible. nylon is brittle when dry. so one of the tricks is you boil the parts in water for 10-15 minutes.
this starts to re-hydrate the nylon and it also relieves stress in the parts from when printed and different areas shrunk at different rates.
the parts will be a little more flexable and have a different texture when taken out of the hot water bath.
it can take weeks for a very thick piece of nylon to self equalize the amount of water in the part.
as an example Nylon zip ties are very brittle when they first make and bag them,, they usually put a drop or two of water inside the bags so the nylon will absorb it and be more flexable when it gets to the store for sale.

Re: Slic3r Settings for Taulman Bridge Nylon
The preset that came with my drivers was causing lots of warping even after dehydrating the TB nylon filament. I changed the bed temps to 70C/90C and it worked so much better it makes me wonder if the default config just got entered backwards (90C/50C). My first print was flawless after making this change. 0.2mm layer height also seems to be more "optimal" for TB nylon. I changed the extruder temp to 45C for all layers (from 40C/50C) , but I don't think it made much of a difference.
