Well hello there.
We have now been printing Nylon 12 with our two Fuse1 machines since december of 2021 and everything so far has worked as intended. Both our Fuse1 has pretty much been running 24/7 since we got them.
In december of 2022 we decided to give Nylon 12 GF a try and ended up deciding to switch to Nylon 12GF entierly for our production.
It was some kinks to work out such as more precise cleaning etc to keep the machines running optimized. Still they run pretty much 24/7 without any issues.
In January of 2023 we got our Fuse1+ from our Swedish dealer and was told that there is some issues that we must be aware of when it comes to Nylon 12GF and Fuse1+. and that they would be solved with a future software update.
The update came along and we did see some improvements. However, no our parts suffer from pitting wich render our products useless as we have a high standard expectation on our products.
Thats where we are at the moment. We are now waiting for Formlabs to execute the same prints as we do so we can see if they get the same results.
If we can get the Fuse1+ to print the same quality as the Fuse1, that remains to be seen.
I will update this post when i have more to share.
Have you experienced any pitting on your products? Please let me know.
Best regards.
Andy

Hi @andy, catching up on this thread, we want to know how your Fuse printing going?
If you (or anyone else reading this) is looking for more firsthand Fuse reviews or to connect with an avid Fuse user, join our live webinar tomorrow with Fuse super user Ken Pillonel, the creator behind Exploring the Simulation.
Ken is a pro Fuse user produced thousands of parts produced on Fuse as a one-person team. He’ll share a candid, behind-the-scenes look at how he used Fuse to bring his custom AirPod charging case to market and will give an honest walkthrough of the challenges and wins of using his Fuse for production.
Bring your Fuse questions - he’ll be answering them live!

You want to know how our Fuse printing is going?
Well, we have over 30k hours in total on all our printers. We purchased 2 Fuse 1 and 1 Fuse 1+.
Yet our In Memoriam wall tells a different story, it says we have gone thru 9 printers in total. Thats how good it´s going. 
If anyone is interested in our “In Memoriam” wall, let me know and i´ll post a picture. I doubt the higher ups at Formlabs would think it´s funny. Neither do we, but it´s the cold truth.
Let me know when Ken has over 25k hours on his machines and i might tune in.
In the meantime, you should work on lowering the material prices.

Hey @Andreasemilsson, thanks for sharing your printing feedback.
Wow, 30k hours of printing! That is hard to beat : )
We’re sorry you had to go through so many machines in order to hit that milestone. That is definitely not our aim for your experience and we will keep trying to do better on reliability and material cost. We really appreciate your persistence. It looks to be like you’re in very capable hands with our Support team but please don’t hesitate to ask for any additional support.
Best,
Diana
