This is a wood based filament that can be used in most desktop 3D printers, such as our Geeetech I3 pro B. The wood filament prints easily and smoothly, similar to PLA, and give off a smell of wood when printing. The printed objects look very much like a wood carving work, which will appear rough and similar to MDF, Medium Density Fiberboard but it can be easily sanded.
Because 3D wood filament has real wood fibers, the print temperature can be adjusted during the print to produce differing shades of color. If the print temperature is adjusted by as little as 10 degrees mid-print, the resulting color will have a "grainy" look. Printing at lower temperatures will produce a brighter color; versus a print at higher temps will create a darker print. Possible extrusion temperature is better to be with a good starting point at 190 degrees. Hotter temperatures will extrude a darker filament; using variable temperatures during a print.
Suggested setting:
Layer height: 0.25 mm
Default extrusion with: 60~ 80 mm
Speed for non-moves: 40~60 mm
Temperature of extruder: 190℃~230℃
The color changing isn't as effective as the description makes it seem. You need to drop the speed ridiculously low and you have to increase the temperature ridiculously high._br_I had some good results at 10 mm/s and 300°C
Hi Jhon, Thanks for your valuable advice on the printing of wood filaments, if you have other problems you can contct me via this mailbox:myorder@geeetech.com, Have a nice day.
What are the reccommendations for drying before use? I currently have it on 40°C on the build plate of my Bambu A1 with a box over it (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC3jvuq-uq8#ddg-play), is that enough to dry it in 22 hours?_br_
Hi Jhon, The main thing is the nozzle printing temperature, the minimum is 200 degrees and the normal temperature is around 210 degrees. Also, you can dry the consumables before printing, seal the consumables after use, and clean the nozzle in time every day. If you have other problems you can contact me via this mailbox:myorder@geeetech.com, thanks a lot.
How do you stop the air bubble streaks in the layers, they always begin in this new bath of two spools about four or five layers in, the printers aren't blocked the shade is much darker than normal spools from you but everything is usually fine, i've recalibrated e steps altered temps, changed nozzles changes tubing even tried altering gcode multiple times from normal one and every print is not sellable both spools on separate printers doing this, theyve been dried everything cant figure what settings or temp is wronf
Hi Thomas, Thanks for your feedback, could you tell me which machine you are using? Could you send us pictures to email:myorder@geeetech.com?
The color is great, the first print results were also great, unfortunately, at least for me, the nozzle clogged after a long time of printing.
Thank you for your support. Please pay attention to cleaning the nozzle.
Hi, can you tell me the density of this filament so I can enter it in my slicer software? Thank you!
I would like to change the shiping adress to: Torsten Pehlke c/o Haus Neuland Dockstr. 18 28237 Bremen Germany
Hi Torsten,sorry for late reply.Could you please email me your order number:jocelin.jia@geeetech.cn,I will help you.Thanks.
