wood PLA filament

[John Irwin]

Has anyone used this filament in the MOST Delta printers? What settings are recommended? Forestry dept wants to 3D print some "wood" looking parts. Or, do you have other wood fiber filaments to recommend?

Thanks,

John

I've never printed mixed material filaments, but I would guess standard PLA settings for your printer would be a good starting point. The packaging says the extrusion temp should be 190-225*C, which matches that of PLA.

On my Athena II, I print 0.2mm layer height, 35-70 mm/s, 210*C for high quality prints. This blog post suggests that playing with the print temperature can affect your print's color. It also discusses other print quality questions for wood filament, so I'd go with that. Feel free to share your learnings for others to use in the future!
