For best bed adhesion, use watered down PVA glue painted with a brush, NOT glue-stick. Fan settings off, and use an enclosed build chamber.

Do you print much nylon?

I have a remodeled MendelMax 2.0 in progress I want to setup with all metal hot end and other shit for more exotic filaments.

I print nylon almost exclusively. Once you get good at printing it, you won't want to print anything else... except for polycarbonate, but that shit is temperamental as fuck!!!

  • Get an all metal hotend.
  • Titanium throat if you can find one.
  • Hardened steel volcano nozzle (whatever size you like).
  • Stacked Maxiwatt cylindrical heater core.
  • Add a remote double geared direct drive extrusion system for perfect feeding (does not add too much inertial weight).
  • Build an enclosure for the printer with a temperature controlled heater.

Do all of this, and you've reached advanced level.
