Nylon
Nylon is a versatile thermoplastic filament used in 3D printing, known for its exceptional strength, flexibility, and resistance to wear. With excellent layer adhesion and a relatively low risk of warping, nylon is favored for producing durable and functional prototypes, mechanical parts, and complex geometries. Its ability to withstand stress and impact makes it suitable for applications where toughness and resilience are paramount in the world of additive manufacturing.
Applications
1
Functional Prototypes
Nylon is frequently used in 3D printing to create strong and durable functional prototypes, allowing for thorough testing of designs in real-world conditions.
2
Mechanical Components
Nylon’s high strength and flexibility make it suitable for producing mechanical components and parts that require resilience and the ability to withstand stress and impact.
3
Complex Geometries
Nylon’s excellent layer adhesion and low risk of warping make it ideal for printing intricate and complex geometries, expanding its applications to designs that demand precision and detail.

The Blade of Evil's Bane
This sword model is a more realistic redesign of the Master Sword from The Legend Of Zelda game series. The text on the front of the blade translated from Hylian says, “The Sword of the Hero of Legend” and on the back, “The Blade of Evil’s Bane.”
