Sample Print Please in NYLON

[Ian0ne 0]

I am really interested in purchasing a 3D printer and would like a sample print of an STL file I have designed.

I will be more than happy to pay for the print I would ideally like it printed with the Ultimaker 2 Extended. As this is the machine I would like to buy.

The print needs to be as solid as possible and in NYLON and of good quality.

It is going to be a working model, fitted in a surfboard and trailed.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks.

3dhubs.com is your friend. It turns out there is a guy with an ultimaker2 180km from you who will print anything for you in nylon here:

Just upload your part and 3dhubs will tell you the price. The material he uses is called "Taulman Bridge" which is a type of nylon that is extremely strong and a bit stiffer than most nylons (which is good - most nylons are too rubbery). You can only get this nylon in black or white but you can die parts in any acid based liquid dye quite easily and it looks great.

Thanks for that I have just uploaded my STL file for a quote. Sounds like exactly what I am looking for.
