pm_dude 26 Posted March 13, 2015 in problem with dyed nylon prints I wonder what dye Shapeways use with the Strong & Flexible polished. The dye go off over time (use). Maybe you need to add some agent to seal it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lance-greene 7 Posted March 13, 2015 in problem with dyed nylon prints now that I think of it it might have something to do with the parts not being 100% infill. some of the nylon of dyed has been perfectly fine, but those prints were 100% infill. these ones that are turning out weird have all had 20% infill or less.

jameshs 42 Posted March 14, 2015 in problem with dyed nylon prints maybe the dyes are a salt and dryin out on the surface like you say? I had more success dying the actual filament before the printing - I found that the nylon stiffens slightly after printing compared to the 'natural' printed un dyed. But love the effect! Which nylon are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
