Experience with SUNLU Wood?

[olli.martin]

Does anyone have experience with SUNLU Wood? I would be interested in the Filemant profile.

Kind regards

[print.in.3d]

Yes, I have printed something a few weeks ago. Here is my profile:

[mampfiee]

SUNLU have two different Wood Filaments.
My one had max. 190°C temp.
Over 200°C it smells very dangerus and you can often see smoke.

Generic PLA Profile and set the temps down to 185°C works perfekt for me

[olli.martin]

Thanks a lot. I‘ll try it in the evening and come back with the results.

SUNLU have two different Wood Filaments

Yes, good and important point! The right temperature is printed on the label. Mine was labeled with „between 205 and 215 degree“.

[olli.martin]

Hello,

here is the promised feedback.
The specs from @print.in.3d were great. The filament that I use is printed at 205 to 215 degrees.
The result is really good. I still have to work on the infill.

Thanks to @print.in.3d @mampfiee

I love the wood prints but stopped doing them a couple years ago because it gums up everything it touches. It creates a residue that’s like sawdust.

One question: Do you know, how much percentage of wood your filament contains?

[olli.martin]

@chopomatic Let’s see if this is still the case with the current filaments.

[mampfiee]

it shows 25% on the package

[print.in.3d]

Ah, okay. Mine shows 10% on package. That maybe the reason for the different temperatures.

I havev the 205-215 sunlu wood too and was wondering if anyone has done any experiments to “slow” down the processs, to allow the wood to “burn” a little (not burn… but you know what i mean) - to get darker effects etc. My “Wood” colour is a very light brown , almost tan and I prefer more darker look etc.

[print.in.3d]

No, I haven’t tried to “burn” the filament to get a darker look. But’s an interesting point. Is it possible?

[lkraus]

Some woods will start to scorch at temperatures as low as 235°C, but they require much more heat exposure time than the short period it takes filament to pass through a nozzle. The plastic is more sensitive to heat than the wood fibers, so it dictates the acceptable upper temperature limit. Burnt plastic is seldom attractive.

This is what i would have thought too, will try and find and link the article etc, could be old info, poorly worded , or I just remembered it wrong

Hello. I use temperature between 190ºC to 195ªC with your configuration too, changing only retraction distance and was succesfuly with SUNLU PLA Wood. Thanks @print.in.3d and @mampfiee

Do you need a hardened steel nozzle for wood filament?

[Marcu3D]

For me not, I used the original nozzle who comes with my P1S because it’s made of stainless steel.
