Rigid Ink Nylon 12 with the UP! Box Printer Review

It has been a while now since my last post, I have been meaning to get a write up done on the RigidInk Nylon filament done for some time.

Following on from My PMMA filament review med UP! Box Printer, I was interested at se how the printer handled Nylon filament. Rigid Ink do a nylon 12 filament som enligt specification prints in the same region as ABS (260) nemlig setup on the UP! Box.

Now I have ulterior motives for trying out Nylon, in as much as I would like to print out some parts to make a Drone, and I have been reading up that Nylon might just be the material-to-use.



As you can see even on the basic abs settings of the UP Box printer, the Nylon filament prints really well. In fact yet again the Filament from Rigid Ink works really well, with consistent results.

Only issue I have seen with some other prints is that because the filament is being extruded at a higher temperature than recommended, there is quite a bit of oozing afterwards, which has been a problem with intricate parts. I am sure that if the UP software allowed for adjusting of temperature then this would be no problem.
