I ordered a spool of Hatchbox 1.75mm wood filament the other day and will be getting it on Wednesday. Would like to get some tips on how to print with it. I have only been printing with ABS till now. I have a FFCP
Here are the temp ranges.
Recommended Extrusion/Nozzle Temperature 175°C - 250°C (347°F - 482°F)
Here is the amazon link to what I ordered.

Thanks.
I'd like to know how this stuff work's for you, I almost ordered a roll and probably still will come payday. I use Hatchbox almost exclusively unless it's a specialty filament.
It did real good. Here is what I posted as a review on Amazon.Quote:

This is the first time I printed with a filament that was not ABS. It printed great and I had no warping.
Here is what the print looked like.
Flashforge Creator Pro(No Mods)
Extruder 220c
Bed 60c
Time to print: about 4 hours(May have been able to print faster)
Slicer used: Simplify 3D
Ahh ok I did see your review on there. Have you printed anything else with it yet? Are you able to stain the printed thing's very well?
I have not had a chance to print anything else yet or try to stain it yet. Work keeps getting in the way. :)Quote:

I've got some of the laywood filament - haven't yet managed to finish a print without it snapping on me - the stuff is ridiculously brittle.
To print the Hatchbox Wood I changed the default printer speed down to 30 mm/s in Simplify 3d.Quote:

The problem I have with the so-called Wood-filaments
is that they need lighter and darker colored areas that look like Wood-graining.
All a Same color does Not look like wood to me , just more cream or tan colored plastics.
So why pay more for another Plastic look ??
Glass with glue stick.Quote:
