Need help printing Taulman Nylon 618

Hi all,
i'm trying to print Taulman Nylon 618 and have a real problem getting it to stick to anything.
So far i tried Aluminium with Water/Woodglue, Wood, PEI, paper, printing temperature is 245°C,
The best so far is wood, it only sticks for less than 5 minutes though.
Any experience what does work?

Cheers
Björn

PS: add aluminium with PET

Isn't that the same as the glue mixture i already tried? That one works fine for laywood, laybrick and FPE, but not at all with Nylon 618.
Did it realy work for you?

I have heard cardboard used. Vaguely remember that porosity helps.

Sorry i forgot to mention that, i already tried cardboard as well.

I had great success with the brand UHU non toxic glue stick, smear a thin layer on,
I also used non heated bed, also uhu glue on blue painters tape worked well..


hows it like to extrude? any crackle and pop sounds? might need bed readjustment or slow down first layer more...

I print on the back side of Copper clad PC board material (fiberglass I think. The light brown kind). I had some single sided and tried it and it works good but you need a heated bed (I set mine to 85c) and make sure the nozzle is close as you want it to really smash the nylon into the board, first layer should be barely visible (looks like a thin wax film) then the rest will print fine. The nice part is it sticks very well while heated but just pops of once cooled.
