Wood PLA

Trying to print using Wood PLA by Eryone, and not sticking yo the bed, tried to adjust the filament settings with no luck, any suggestions?

RE: Wood PLA

typically poor adhesion comes down to three things
1, Build plate cleanliness?
2, Live Z / first layer calibration,
3, Bed temperature

there are many adhesion Aids...
I don't use any of them...

I wash my build plate with Hot water  a new kitchen sponge and dish soap. Rinse  with fresh hot water, and dry immediately with plain paper towels, keeping my fingers off the build plate surface.

adjust live Z as normal, 

and if the part still does not stick, try 65 or 70C on the build plate.

RE: Wood PLA

Wood filament can absorb moisture, watch the humidity. 
Don't set Live Z too low, the wood fibres can clog the nozzle
varying print temperatures can cause discolouration. 

Have fun!
