This nylon presser foot didn't come with the sewing machine I bought so I designed it from their zigzag foot. I've been experimenting sewing with leather and the metal foot seems to have too much resistance.
The Taulman 618 nylon filament is what I'm going to print with and a #17 (#16 also fit, but the #17 worked better) nail fits into the machine. I believe the sewing machine I have is a Brothers CE5500PRW, but should work with some other makes and models.
Printed with success as you can see in the picture and opening for needle is accurate and even larger than original. I used my dremel to cut the end of the nail off. It was a tight fit, but with a little effort it went through and the interference fit is nice because it means it won't back out easy.
