These bowls look really good and the grain effect you achieved with stain is some of the best I’ve seen on the web. Thanks, you’ve inspired me to try it.
On one of the forums I frequent someone had printed a stock for his airsoft rifle. He sanded and stained it and it looked pretty good in the pictures. So, the wood filament is a little more useful than just making decorations and trinkets.
Hi Kevin. That’s a cool use case for wood filament that I didn’t think of. Im sure there are others that fall into this category as well. I was thinking more of things for around the house like little bowls, small shelves, etc.
Nice video with many useful considerations -- thanks. I've started experimenting with this wood PLA and found that it clogged my 0.4mm nozzle for the first time ever. I changed the nozzle and am using regular filaments as before, but I want to think and study a bit before trying it again. One video I saw suggested only using 0.6mm nozzles with wood filament. I also want to study extruder temperature's effect on clogging. My Filamentum brand filament (from the Czech Republic) suggests working temperature of 170/185 degrees C. My primary use, so far, is to make drawer and cabinet handles. They're fairly small, so wood grain isn't so important on them. Also, it ought to be easy to make lots of different and original styles. For example, I made a dozen Greene & Greene style handles out of (real) oak and it involved about a dozen steps on the table saw, band saw, router table, spindle sander, etc. over a couple of days. Pretty much anything you do with SketchUp you can just 3D print one or ten when you need them. Keep up the good work.
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t had any issues with .4mm, even with wood filament. Most of the nozzle issues I have had were related to printing at too low of a temperature. I like the look of wood, which is why I started playing around with this filament. I do woodworking on the side as a hobby when I have time, and it does require a lot of tools and time. It's much quicker to be able to print something.
Hey Robert, great video even 3 years later. I've to say that final prints looks very good actually (btw, recording in very high resolution). I'm struggle finding Hatchbox in the market and will probably try Amolen brand. If you have experienced printing with this brand, please let us know.
Hi. I havent used Amolen filament before but one thing does stand out as a potential issue. The Tolerance: ± 0.03mm is a bit higher than i like. I typically dont go above .02mm. That doesnt mean that it wont work, just something to keep an eye out for.
That looks good. I want to print some rosewood from 3DBest but not sure I can with my current machines. I don't have the proper nozzles but man it sure looks good.
Hi. Ive looked at that filament as well, i may end up getting some to try out. I would recommend having a steel nozzle though, the brass ones wont last.
Hi. In this case, its the same as PLA because its just PLA with the filament mixed in. Just make sure to run a temp tower to get the right temp for the filament your using.
I wonder if tou could use wood pla with pla+ in duel extrusion. Have the outside 2 or 3 walls be the wood pla but the rest be pla+ to get both strength and looks
Get a resin printer. I'm a little late, so I hope you did. I have an AnyCubic Photon Mono since January of 2021. This is in addition to my Creality CR-10 S Pro V1.
Yes, i was looking if someone invented a 3d printer that can carve solid wood( olive wood) which i can use to print kitchen utensils and cutting boards instead of buying a whole lot of equipment to carve a cutting board
I hope you found this overview helpful! If you have any questions or would like other tips/tricks, just let me know in the comments.

Excellent video even 2 years later!! Keep up the excellent content!!
Thanks, will do!
Great video was waiting to see if there was going to be more on the subject. Keep up the good content
Thanks. I will be doing more on filament types in general over the next couple of months.

Yeah, I was thinking I could use wood filament for a 3d printed boomstick stock

Great video - thoughts on forust from desktop metal?
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I havent looked into forust much yet but i will take a look at it more.
Thanks for the info!!! good job!
You're Welcome
Can you show how to print wood filament? comparing to PLA?
Hi. In this case, its the same as PLA because its just PLA with the filament mixed in. Just make sure to run a temp tower to get the right temp for the filament your using.
@@3DPrintscape I did a temp tower but the results were strange. Is there a way I could share the results pictures with you?
@@YigalBZ Ya, you can share them on discord or over email. My email is admin@3dprintscape.com
I wonder if tou could use wood pla with pla+ in duel extrusion. Have the outside 2 or 3 walls be the wood pla but the rest be pla+ to get both strength and looks
Hi. I think that would work. Its still PLA based so there shouldnt be any issues with adhesion.
what nozzle did you use? I was recommended by a vendor for a wood filament to use a .5m nozzle. Is this required you recon ?
Hi. I was using a .4mm hardened steel nozzle.
do you think it's possible to make food-safe bowls with wood filament?
Hi. Im not sure there, it may be possible to seal the bowl in something that is food safe.
@@3DPrintscape what about beeswax?
@@andre-ur6lf Honestly, never tried it.
To me this wood filament looks more like ceramic !
Hi. I can see what you’re saying. Maybe a different stain would help.
Get a resin printer. I'm a little late, so I hope you did. I have an AnyCubic Photon Mono since January of 2021. This is in addition to my Creality CR-10 S Pro V1.
Hi. I havent been able to get one yet. How do you like the Photon Mono?
Need more light
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I have been working on the lighting in that room since i made this video, so hopefully that helps out.
So to clarify. Its not actual wood and there hasnt been any scientific breakthrough allowing wood to be 3d printed
Hi. Its wood fiber in the pla. The wood fiber is what absorbs the stain.
Yes, i was looking if someone invented a 3d printer that can carve solid wood( olive wood) which i can use to print kitchen utensils and cutting boards instead of buying a whole lot of equipment to carve a cutting board
