Nylon 3D printer filament

Nylon

— nylon has been used relatively recently in 3D printing, which is why it is less common than other popular thermoplastics. Compared to traditional ABS (see related paragraph), this material requires higher temperatures, emits more harmful substances, and when finished, it tends to accumulate moisture and lose strength, which puts forward certain restrictions on use. On the other hand, nylon products are not as hard, which in some cases is an advantage — in particular in medical applications: splints and prostheses with a characteristic mesh structure can be printed from this material, combining lightness and strength.
