NylonG - Great looking prints but structurally weak

Also hope you are printing with an abrasion resistent nozzle. Like a ruby or at least stainless steel
-
I'm using a a MK8 harden steel nozzle from micro swiss. It is holding up so far.

@thwclw I'll try increasing the temperature. My thermistor is stock - soI ordered Slice engineering PT1000 RTD for my nozzle. It is spec'd to 300 C . I'll let you know how it works out.

@hamplanet000007 The Sunlu dryer is not adequate enough for drying Nylon. You must bring the temperature of Nylon up to 70-80C for 24 hours. This may seem excessive, but for manufacturing, I maintain this level for 5-7 days before I print. After my spool is completely dry, I then add it to the Sunlu at 55C for printing. The Sunlu does not displace air, and you really need a dryer with convection heating like the Matterhackers printdry sysystem.
If your printed part is structurally weak, more than likely you have poor layer adhesion. Printing at 255C is too low of temperature, especially for a composite Nylon. Printing at 270C and 90C bed temperature will yield a stronger printed object.

I have an update.
I upgraded my thermistor and firmware (TH3D) and tried a NylonG print again. I let it sit on the plate over night (like intj123 suggested ) and it produced a structurally strong print.

I am agree with your answers my problem is solved. I am very happy
Have a good day to all the members

How can I make my prints stronger?
Increase Infill Density.
Increase Wall Thickness.
Use Thinner Layers.
Use a Strong Infill Pattern.
Adjust Flow Rate.
Modify the Line Width.
Reduce Cooling.

@willardbenefiel You can make these adjustments inside MatterControl
