Topic: Need help to extrude Nylon 6.6

I was offered Nylon 6.6 pellets, tried to extrude at max temp approx 235 but nothing out, its not melting I mean looks like I put gravel, removed the nozzle and took me lot of time to clean the gravel oops the nylon pellets.

maybe because nylon 6.6 has a melting point 0f 264 deg C

Yes, melting temp is higher, have no details about the materials that's why I tried.
guess I will need replace the heater with some fire source or 18V P supply

Just wire in an ~18v power supply, or, better yet, solder on a female connector for one if you can. As Tim has mentioned before, the heater band, PID controller, and fans are capable of 18v operation. (The stall board just shaves it down to 12v)

Filastruder 2607 w/ Filawinder @1.75mm.
Dual-extruder MaxMicron Prusa Mendel: RAMPS 1.4 w/ Repetier Firmware+Full Graphic LCD Controller, stock hotends, 3Dator extruders w/ MK8 gears, insulated enclosure w/ 2 heat lamps, RPi 2B w/ Repetier Server.
0.1-0.2mm layer height, heated bed w/ PEI surface, inductive-sensor autolevel, 0.5mm to 0.2mm nozzle diameters.
