Hi,
I've finished with Laywoo-D3. It was not so funny ...
1st I tried to print my usual Filament Color Sample Chip with different temperatures to get a feeling how the colour changes. Neither the sample from the fair last year (bright colour) nor the ordered dark material showed any changing in colour. I tried 185°C as coldest and 225°C as hottest temperature.
Then I tried to print a Tree Stump Pencil Holder. It was printing nice over 6h. But then my nozzle clogged. I cleaned it (the usual way):
After that I measured the height and deleted the already printed part out of the .gcode file. I managed to let it print to the top with no clogging. So I was happy ... but not long. It was sticking on the glass + wood glue like I never had such before. No way to get it free. At least a knife and some other tools helped. At the end I had to use a kitchen scraping tool to get the rest off the glass.
The bottom of the tree stump now was partially open and I printed the 1st three layers again on the cold clean glass to glue it onto the bottom. Wood glue sticked the two parts together. Then I used a hot air station to melt the seam and there the colour changes! I used different temperatures to make a more naturally looking finish of the whole stump and I'm very satisfied at the end:
Since it is a birthday gift, I had to print something else to keep it in my collection. So I decided to print an owl. But there was the clogging again. And a few layers after it happened again. So I stopped the print. I'm finished with Laywoo-D3.
It does not work with a 0.4mm nozzle.
@ Nophead: Do you offer a J-Head with a 0.5mm nozzle? May I ask for a quote from you?
MfG / Regards
