1. A method for printing a three-dimensional part with an additive manufacturing system, the method comprising: providing a consumable material comprising a polyamide blend having at least one semi-crystalline polyamide and at least one amorphous polyamide that is substantially miscible with the at least one semi-crystalline polyamide, wherein the at least one amorphous polyamide constitutes from about 50% by weight to about 85% by weight of the polyamide blend and wherein the consumable material has a solidification temperature and a glass transition temperature, and wherein the consumable material is capable of printing a three-dimensional part having a curl less than about 0.01 inches pursuant to a Curl Bar Test, and has a relative strength in a conditioned state of at least about 1,600 psi;heating a chamber of the additive manufacturing system or locally heating a deposition region of the additive manufacturing system to a temperature between the solidification temperature and the glass transition temperature of the consumable material;feeding the consumable material to a liquefier assembly retained by the additive manufacturing system;melting the consumable material in the liquefier assembly; andextruding the molten consumable material from the liquefier assembly as a series of roads in the heated chamber or the locally-heated deposition region to print the three-dimensional part in a layer-by-layer manner. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one semi-crystalline polyamide comprises a graft semi-crystalline polyamide having impact modifiers grafted to a polyamide backbone. 3. The method of claim 1, and further comprising printing a support structure in a layer-by-layer manner from a support material comprising acid groups, alcohol groups, or combinations thereof, wherein extruding the molten consumable material from the liquefier assembly as the series of roads in the heated chamber or the locally-heated deposition region comprises depositing the roads on the support structure. 4. The method of claim 3, and further comprising generating hydrogen bonding between the three-dimensional part and the support structure. 5. The method of claim 3, and further comprising immersing the three-dimensional part and the support structure in an aqueous solution, which at least partially dissolves the support structure and increases a moisture concentration in the three-dimensional part. 6. The method of claim 1, and further comprising conditioning the three-dimensional part to increase ductility of the three-dimensional part. 7.
