On my Bambu P1S I printed a test part with eSun wood filament and it is a little stringy. Any suggestions on settings for this material. For compaison is the test sample printed in Bambu white PLA with the same 0.4mm nozzle.
Be sure you’re using a hardned nozzle. It’s not as important with wood but it can wear. I would also recommend using a .6 as wood can easily clog a .4.
I had heavy stringing with Hatchbox wood. I toyed and toyed and eventuallty just played with heat a bit. It got better when hotter but never went away. I was doing one project with it and never bothered much afterwards.
definately recommend a .6 though.

The last time I used a filament that included actual wood was Eryone PLA Wood Filament.
It contained 10% actual wood in the mix if memory serves, I ran out of it a couple of years ago.
This was when I used a Creality CR-6 SE (a bed-slinger) with a 0.4mm copper nozzle.
Stringing is part of the ‘joy’ of using a filament that contains contaminants as they do not bind well to the main material.
What you are printing matters a lot, boxes are fine as they do not have many retractions, and detailed or very structural items are troublesome.
Retraction can be your friend and your enemy as the wood elements can block the nozzle.
You haven’t linked the material and that is important. Many so-called wood filaments only provide the visual look of wood and do not contain any wood particles. eSun sells both types.
If this is a wood-effect filamanet, follow all the normal stringing advice of drying out the filament, and playing with retraction settings.
