You just gave me an idea where to get the powder locally.

You could look up rapid prototyping services in your area that use SLS and ask if they would be willing to give their leftover powder to you rather than throwing it out.  It's an odd request and not something the front desk can help you with, so it might be tough to get anyone to call you back.

Just to be sure, the 3d printed product is flexible right?

"Nylon
To my knowledge, the only nylon that has been run through a Filastruder is this. "

I need the material to be flexible. An example would be the taulman Nylon 618 Filament or the Nylon 645 filament which can be found in the taulman3d website and also on youtube.

Which type of nylon powder is needed to make this filament?
