Taulman Nylons are amazingly strong but are very hygroscopic. When printing large objects that take more than a day to print, the filament can absorb enough moisture from the air (despite copious amounts of desiccant inside a nearly airtight enclosure) to significantly degrade and weaken your print due to the moisture being driven off at the extruder nozzle. If you can hear very light snapping / popping noises at the extruder nozzle while extruding there is too much moisture in the filament...
