It just barely can do regular nylon, but I wanted a hardened nozzle for CF filament and those require a good deal more heat so it turned into a bunch of work. New motherboard (which made the printer nearly silent as a nice side effect) and custom firmware to drive the extruder at higher temps, a better heatbreak to not melt the bowden tubing, etc etc.
I went through and essentially rebuilt the entire printer and it's printing as well as my Method printers for a whole lot less money and a larger print area.
Still more hassle than the Methods, haha.
