Wood Temp Tower (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by MissJinx@lemmy.world to c/3dprinting@lemmy.world
 

This is the temp tower of my wood print experiment Cand even se much difference. It goes from 260 to 190. Below 225 gets really flimsy and above 240 melts. But even 230, the "best" one is really bad, and I'm not talking about retraction. Even the layers that melt are inconsistent.

Also it's not humidity since the filament was in a filament dryer for.16hours.

edit: The nozzle is 0.8

can someone think of anything else?

I don't know what your setup is but that looks to me like you need a higher flow melt zone and better extruder grip. I was able to get out of a similar situation with particle filled filaments using this: https://kevinakasam.com/papilio/ and further improvement with a hall effect filament width sensor but the tinkering for that was an actual nightmare.

wood filament is also just cursed. the improvement to regular filament was much better while the particle filaments just went from similr to your wood filament to tolerable.

oh that's interesting my extruder is indeed kind of shitty. I'll take a look at this thanks
