Wood Filament

Any Experience with Wood Filament anybody?

Is it possible to make any common printer, like the Rosell or the Delta into a wood filament printer?

I assume you have to change the extruder, and change some voltageS?

Just don't do what I did and try to use a 0.4mm nozzle.

What happened with a .4 nozzle?

@Some laywood it works with 0.4mm nozzle. But 0.5 seems very stable.

Well it cloggs. The wood particles get burned a little bit (thats why you can change to darker color with temperature).

I tried with 0.3mm nozzle and it just wont work. Just a few minutes then its clogged. You can get it free with some thin steel wire (e.g. guitarstring) but it will clogg again!

Get yourself a 0.5mm nozzle. Things look great even with that size.

Laywood

Sweet. Which printer do you have?

On the ebay listing for the one I'm looking at, it says the heat bed requires 230 C and this model the heat bed only goes to 110, what a turn off!

The printer is a i3 Geeetech Pro B


Whats your experience with the heat bed?

Temperature fot the hotend is app. between 180 -250 degrees.
There is no heatedbed necesarry.

You wont need a heated bed for laywood.

Edit:

Ok you can use a heated bed with kapton or sugarwater (yes!). Printbedtemp like PLA works fine (50-60°C).

My printer is a German RepRap Neo. But i doesnt matter. Any standard FDM/FFM printer works due to the relativly low print temp
