I am printing Nesting Rope Bowls by DaveMakesStuff - Thingiverse at the moment using Amolen PLA Wood - Walnut. Has anyone used this filament before? I’m printing it pretty slow so just in case. Anyone have any good/bad experiences with this filament?
I printed these sized as pencil cups for the wife from Amolen Walnut. Came out very nice indeed. I think the only change I made was to the temperature range using the default generic PLA. I don’t remember changing the speed and probably left it at normal speed on the printer.

Curious if you are running this through the AMS? I have huge multi part print I want to do with wood PLA but I’m nervous about the wood lol.

No, I ran it through the external spool. Heard too many horror stories of running this kind of filament through the AMS.
Just to be safe, I slowed it way down to 60. Probably would have been fine at normal speed but I wanted to see how close to wood/rope I could make it look.
I did run it through the AMS. Just plonked it in like any other spool, made a profile with the slightly lower temperatures from the label on the spool and hit print.
Having typed the above, I got to thinking. I remembered switching to the .6 nozzle for something and it kind of looks like it’s the Amolen that’s still in the .6 Something to keep in mind.

Can you share your configuration for the Amolen PLA ? I am having issues with an Amolen PLA filament, specifically with the first layer to adhere properly to the cool bed.
Hi Bambu fans,
I would like to have some advice and help in printing wood pla on my Bambu Lab Carbon X1.
I’m trying to print wood pla miniature doors, but i’m still getting blobs on the surface of my doors, therefore looking not nicely:
I had to change my nozzle from 0.4 to 0.6, as the 0.4 nozzle started to get clogged after a while.
So now using the 0.6 nozzle I tried all these setting improvements:
- nozzle from 0.4 to 0.6 (no more clogging for now)
- temperature lower to from 220 - 190C
- max volumetric speed from 12 mm³/s to 8, then 4 mm³/s
- slow down outher and inner wall printing speed from 120mm/s to 60mm/s
- put on ZHOB spriral 0.4mm
- put on detect thin walls
- put on avoid crossing walls (but with standard values 0 mm or %)
- filament in dry holder 20% humidity
even with all these changes I still see blobs on the surface. I did not have this with the 0.4 nozzle configuration running ad standard 0.25mm specs at 200mm/s, but those specs are not even standard in the 0.6 mm nozzle configuration in bambu lab
Any advice to improve the quality on this?
Thank you very mutch

Did you ever resolve this?
I just randomly found this thread and suspect that Arachne walls might have helped for you. Any small model and/or one with fine surface details where I see blobs or gaps on the surface, I tend to try Arachne walls and find it helps most of the time.
