I printed a small 1/2 in. x 3 in. window bracket prototype using PLA on the Luzbot Mini. I now want to print it using ABS so that it will be UV and water resistant. Which of the 3D printers in the Lab would be best for printing ABS? Are any of these machines capable of printing Nylon? ABS calls for an extrude temp of 230 C and a bed temp of 110 C. Do I need any special preparation for bed adhesion or warp prevention? If you have printed with ABS or Nylon on the Lab machines, I would appreciate your recommendations.

All of the 3D printers we have are capable of printing ABS and have done so. Just make sure you select the proper material in our slicers.
Nylon can be a difficult material to use. The two Minis and the Prusa are capable of printing with nylon, but I personally have had problems with nylon (layer adhesion issues) and don't know if any of our printers have successfully used it.
