    1. Don’t know. Will leave that for someone with more knowledge

    2.main reason is you can squeeze a bit more strength out of things by printing them hotter and slower and grabbing his preset just works for most people, you’re free to make your own or adjust to your liking

    1. Nylons biggest issue is usually sticking to the plate, a super clean plate and decent size brim can also work, but one of the upgraded plates can save a decent amount of headache given the price of these filaments.

    2. It need to be dried at 80c+ but 60c or so is fine to keep it dry while printing.

    3. Mostly not much of an issue, can occasionally give you “splinters” if it does paint/seal it. No real need for the respirator unless sanding it.

    4. It can but mostly can be prevented by packing the part with salt/sand and covering the outside with the same. Easiest is a glass casserole dish in whatever size will hold your parts. The sand/salt will help everything keep its dimensions.

    Arguably more important than annealing is moisture conditioning, which can be accomplished by just leaving it in open air for a couple weeks (assuming you live pretty much anywhere more humid than phoenix Arizona) or sped up a bit by putting it in a ziplock/ sealed container with a wet sponge. Then just let osmosis do its thing.
