Hello everyone, I recently used my portable 3D scanner[https://www.revopoint3d.com/products/al ... iracoplusl] to scan a dragon-shaped toy figure. Now I want to print it out, but I want its texture to be softer. Can I use nylon material to print it? Or do you have any better recommendations? Thank you for your opinions.

The nylon can be challenging to print with coz it tends to absorb moisture from the air, which can affect print quality. But the nylon for 3D printing can be a good choice due to its toughness, flexibility, and durability. For a softer texture for your dragon, you might consider the following suggested material filaments.
  • TPU:
If you want a really soft and flexible material, TPU is an excellent option. It's often used for printing items that need to be elastic and durable.
  • PLA:
It is available in a variety of colors. Most commonly used material and a great choice for easy to print with, biodegradable, and delivers quality print.
Hope this information helps you!
Happy printing *:)
