Here's a dyed bridge nylon print that I just ran last night, took about 6 hours.  No warping at all.

The idea is to avoid heat shock from the change from a hot extrude to a cold print. I use 80c because it's just above the glass transition temp of nylon. In technical terms it's the point above which nylon or any filament gets gooy . Good luck there are to types of consultants those that help and those that talk about helping.

Or even maybe just looking in the "Filament" section, where you'll find a sticky entitled "Nylon"???

It keeps  curling up at the edges after the first couple of layers and then just comes loose.

I found the good extrusion temp is 225c for my printer, tried 110c on the heatbed, 65c, no heat, fan and no fan, etc. Can't  get it to stay stuck.

I am using Kapton tape.

I got this filament to print the parts for a new 3d printer I am building and can't  even get one z-axis motor mount made.

Any guys has met this problem?
