Here's the control on my ender 3. This machine has been modified to handle not only PLA, PETG, and ABS, but also nylon and polycarbonate.
I make models in Fusion 360.
And hours later I have a physical object. I end up making a lot of Marijuana-related items, someone asked me to make a base for their bong so it wouldn't fall over in the wind.
I start out with filament, this is one of my favorite brands. The other one I like to use is Atomic Filament.
Made this handle to make this container easier to pick up for myself and my arthritic wife.
This is to hold a phone on the dash of an F150 so it can be used as a dash cam.
Bandsaw table inserts. I made a few of these out of different materials.
A color/material sample collection.
Test print for a 6th generation Accord.
Sign in my work area. I was experimenting with changing filament mid- print.
The ender 3 in action. This was a battery holder made from Overture PETG. Look at that bridge...
Made a vape pen holder. The medical Marijuana in my state has made me money without me even opening a dispensary.
I needed some bag clips.
Articulated slug.
My other half likes this thing.
More pot stuff.
A print-in-place bearing.
Made many of these in 2020.
One of my first prints, someone asked if I could make a light saber.
I hate centipedes. Why do I keep making centipedes.
Halfway through a print, showing the internal structure.
Someone my wife works with had brain surgery had had to wear a helmet. He requested a propeller to put on the helmet. I had to learn to model propeller blades which was fun.
ABS spider. The eyes are PLA.

These are awesome! Keep up the great work! And keep making centipedes. It is your destiny.

The centipedes actually make a good test print so I can see if stuff will stay separate. And people buy them so win-win.

Hey @OP what did you modify so that you can print with nylon?

I have an all-metal hot end, and I flashed new firmware to the controller so that it will reach 300 degrees C.

Cool. That's good to know. I've been considering an all metal hot end. I just replaced my carriage plate with one from gulf robotics and

Installed a bigtreetech control board, so the hot end is next

I really like my microswiss hot end, it gets rid of the problem where a gap develops between the tube and the nozzle.

That's happens to be the exact one I was looking at lol
