| Taulman 618 Nylon 3D Printer Filament |
 If you are new to 3D Printing, orunsure as to the "What do I need to do differently to use 618" ? The answer is very simple.. Just load 618 into your printer andHit "Print"! 618 prints over a wide temperature range and whileyour current temperature may be low for maximum bonding, you may notneed a part that can survive a sledge hammer on your first print. There are just a few items to note so you eventually get the best from618's properties. 1. 618 will not print/stick toglass or aluminum print tables. The best table materialfor a new user is a flat piece of unfinished poplar wood or bluepainters tape. These are at all hobby stores or home depots. Forperfect adhesion, check the information below. 2. 618's bonding is best at atrue 245C. 3. You may have heard nylonemits fumes. 618 does not emit any fumes for printing. Actually, there is no odor at all from 618. You may see whatlooks like puffs of smoke, but it is actually water vapor orsteam.
