Good to hear other experiences with other materials.

My main interest in Nylon is its chemical structure, as its one of the few materials in the 3D printing world that's pretty hydrophilic (which explains why it absorbs water so readily!) Thank you for letting me know the temperature range. And you're definitely correct about the heated chamber. I've seen warping with simpler materials without a constant higher temp., I can only imagine what would happen with 618. I'm sure people have tried to use make-shift chambers to retain the heat, but I'm sure people have also created fire risks... Hmmmm

More to think about. Thank you!

Warps like an amoeba being tickled, soaks water up like silica gel and really requires a sealed, heated chamber. Which - if you've got the creator pro - you do have.

The stock flashforge nozzle and extruder is absolutely fine. Not sure why you're trying to fix something that isn't broken.

And you don't actually need to print nylon at the top end of the temp range.

I have made a few sucessful prints with 618 at 250, but only quite small items are succesful without major warping.

I've got a roll of taulman bridge that I haven't got round to trying yet. Hopefully that's abit more user friendly.

I haven't found anything my stock extruders can't handle yet. From nylon, through all the flexible filaments to wood and bamboo fill.

The only issues are with the filament itself. But the extruders have so far handled every kind of filament without any issues.
