-
Best Uses: Ideal for printing custom planters, tabletop gaming terrain, architectural prototypes, rustic signs, and replacement parts for wooden furniture.
Usage & Maintenance Tips
-
Upgrade Your Nozzle: Because this filament contains real wood particles, it is highly recommended to use a 0.4mm or 0.6mm hardened steel or brass nozzle to prevent potential clogs and ensure a smooth flow.
-
Adjust Print Temperature: Wood filament generally prints well between 190°C and 220°C. Experimenting with slightly higher or lower temperatures can actually change the color of the print, allowing you to create simulated wood grain effects.
-
Post-Processing Ready: Just like real wood, you can easily sand your finished AMOLEN prints to smooth out the surface. It also absorbs standard wood stains and varnishes beautifully for an even more realistic look.
FAQs
Does this filament actually smell like wood? Yes. Because it contains real wood powder, you will notice a pleasant, sweet smell resembling toasted wood while it is melting and extruding through your 3D printer.
Can I paint or stain the finished prints? Absolutely. The wood fibers in the PLA make it highly receptive to traditional wood stains, acrylic paints, and clear polyurethane coats, allowing you to customize the final finish of your projects.
Is it prone to stringing? Wood PLA can be slightly more prone to stringing than standard PLA. Lowering your print speed a bit and dialing in your retraction settings (distance and speed) in your slicer software will help produce cleaner prints.
