Wood filaments  

RE: Wood filaments

I have tried wood (bamboo) filament too and it works best with a nozzle of 0.50mm or larger, few or none retractions and constant flow. The fibers tend to clog if the nozzle is too small or the filament is heated for too long in the hot end.

RE: Wood filaments

right now I have the Tianse wood filament, maybe im not using the right settings? could someone suggest some good settings? I have a 0.4 nozzel so maybe someone could suggest some good nozzle brands as well so I can get some larger nozzles?

What brand is that bamboo filament that you use?

Same experience for me.  They do have an awesome smell.

Cool... what bamboo filament did you use?

I use ColorFabb BambooFill (PLA/PHA) 1.75mm. I'm not sure this filament is still on the marked, but there is a lot of other wood types.

yea ive come across colorfabb a few times... seems like there are a few good ones out there... hatchbox and fillmentum mainly.. but dont seem to be able to get that in the UK which is annoying! ive ordered some "colorfabb woodfill fine" now. So fingers crossed!

Ive returned one of the tianse spools that I had, but ive orded some 0.6mm nozzels to see how that works out now with the remaining spool. 

what do you think?

Filamentive wood is great stuff and they are based in the UK.
