Not too shabby.

Have you flown this yet?

Can you print with carbon fiber reinforced nylon? I have been amazed at the weight difference, between PLA & nylon parts!

I don't use an enclosure and I print with it with no trouble. I think you need one for printing nylon that is not CF (carbon fiber). I don't remember, exactly, but the carbon fiber minimizes the shrinkage/warping, that you get from materials without it.

You'll need a hardened nozzle.

I bought a stainless steel nozzle once to test out. Was a nightmare. Bed adhesion is a totally different animal with non-brass nozzle. So honestly I can't really recommend one.

You need a hardened steel nozzle. I use 3DX Tech's CarbonX filament. I print at 265C and 90-100C for the bed.

Yeah, a stainless nozzle would be a nightmare, it has very low thermal conductivity.

I hear you big time about bed adhesion has been a major pain in my backside too. I can not do 2 prints in a row without troubles. And right now I am having trouble with the nozzle. I bought some on eBay and cannot print, it plugs up even after a new nozzle I can not manually feed filament through it. I have gone through 12 nozzles without a single print!!!

What printer are you using, mine is Creality CR-10? That is expensive filament, I am going to save up my pennies. My printer's max nozzle temp is 260C so I would have to upgrade the printer controller box.
Where can I get your harden nozzle?
==================================
I am very open mind to any suggests on how to keep these new nozzles from plugging up. Also, may I ask where you buy your nozzles from.

Yes, you're correct about filled filament will plug up the nozzle very quickly. I am just using plain every day PLA filament without any filler. That why I am at wits end on what is causing this nozzle plugging.
bigseb could provide the a web link to the Amazon for the nozzles you bought?
Thanks

Dude don't buy them: Stainless Steel Nozzle.
I assume you are printing on glass? Since you mention you are having adhesion problems I can recommend this: 3D Lac. This is the best stuff ever for adhesion.

Yes, I am printing on glass. I am using a 3D printer adhesive I found on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/240ml-8oz-3D-Printer-Adhesives-for-Glass-Plates-3D-Printer-Glue/273679247489?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649). I think my problem is leveling the bed. It just seems I have to adjust the level on the bed with every new print. Possibly I am not leveling the bed properly. How do you level you print bed?
