Nylon Filament

[RobH2]

Yes, I did create a chamber and used a heated bed but I must still be getting a draft. I did read about using PVA glue on the glass so I tried that. It worked like a champ, only one problem, as the part dried, it cracked the expensive borosilicate glass. Really, here's a photo:

So what I tried next was wood. I used a piece that was 3/4 inch thick and nice and smooth. That worked well and since I have autoleveling set up it went smoothly. That actually worked the best. I'm have enough 618 for one more print so I'm trying to use it up. I've switched to Bridge Nylon and it's much more friendly.

Whoa :O

I've never printed things that large from Nylon, but I used to un-tension ABS parts mid-print. I used a hairdryer to rapidly raise the temperature of the whole model and chamber, to make it approach the lower glass transition temperature of nylon (did it by the thumb), then let it cool in normal ambient temperature of the print chamber. This may help.
