I have some wood filament here, not laywoo, another knock off and while it extrudes perfectly, it wont stick. You cool the bed, it just lifts off, you heat it, it does 2 layers and curls... there does not seem to be an in between. Has anyone tried wood filament on glass and is it any better? This stuff will not stick to kapton or blue tape at any temperature. I have tried every setting from hotbed off to hotbed 120c, and ironically the 120c worked better than a non heated bed.
Laywoo never gave me this much problem, but then laywoo is 4x the price i paid for this roll.
any ideas how I can get this bastard filament to stick? Hairspray and kapton didnt work, blue tape didnt work, bare aluminum didnt work.. yellow tape didnt work, ABS slurry didnt work.
you know the only thing it even remotely stucj to was a piece of A4 I stuck to the plate just as a test. I figured if it sticks to paper it should stick to tape, but nah no good.
I have not tried a glue stick... luckily the kids should have some i might give that a go!
