UM2 small spool holder

Within the past week, I have successfully printed Taulman Bridge Nylon with my UM2 for the first time. The success was made possible by several key measures. Firstly, I enclosed the system in a box to create an elevated temperature environment that reaches up to 105F after about ten minutes of running time. Next, I applied a fresh coat of 10% Elmer's glue solution on the bed before each job, which helped to prevent parts from sticking and leaving clean spots on the glass without any residue. Furthermore, I adjusted the temperature settings until I found a sweet spot that prevented charred black spots from forming in the nozzle while still achieving a good juicy melt. Specifically, I used a 230C nozzle and an 80C bed temperature, which worked perfectly for me. Finally, I made sure to keep the filament dry, which is crucial when printing with nylon. I would like to acknowledge the designers who inspired my creation.
