    I just ordered some new 618 and 645 Nylon, as I think mine may have moisture in it, also, since I have the E3D now, I am able to use the 645 filament.

    I'm excited to see you print 645. Would you be willing to do some durability/strength tests for us....

    For sure JDM_! I ordered it today. So hopefully it ships tomorrow and I have it by Friday. I'll probably not be able to use it though over the weekend as I"ll be super packed and busy

    Thanks to Printed (Via skype) recommending me to heat the nylon in a convection oven at 100C to evaporate any moisture in the filament, I will soon being the first test print of Nylon 618 on my RoBo 3D Printer, using the E3D Hot end.
