Extruding Nylon

Hey, I already posted this in the general section, but I figured it belonged here.
I just made a wiki entry on how to prepare nylon trimmer line for extruding here:
[reprap.org]
The pictures only show a little bit of trimmer line, but a whole spool can be dried at once.
Also, I have some extra dried line if anybody wants it. It is 1.7mm diameter, and I will ship it to you for free. I just want to see someone try it out on a working extruder.

Resurrecting old thread to state that according to Nathan7 and Parcan from the IRC channel, extruding nylon creates a cyanide gas.

I've extruded nylon in the past. No worse than ABS, assuming you keep it at a reasonable extruding temperature.
