Review on HATCHBOX 3D Printer Filament - 1Kg Spool, 1.75Mm Wood Filament With +/- 0.03Mm Dimensional Accuracy by Todd Fernandez

This filament has great potential for beautiful, non-functional prints. I've found it to be significantly more brittle and fragile than normal pla. On the flip side, it looks much better than most pla materials. I've had issues with first-layer adhesion, which were solved with higher first layer temperatures (210C works great for me). It was a nightmare of blobs and strings until I figured out good settings. I'll post the important ones here for prusa slicer / mk3 in case anyone else is struggling:- DISABLE THE FAN. This eliminated 99% of my stringing. Seriously. Turn it all off.- Retraction 1mm length @ 80mm/s helped with most of the blobbing and remaining strings- Disable wipe while retracting. You may want to also disable Lift Z.- Normal print temperature at 190. You can go as low as 185. Do not go lower than 185, adhesion will fail.- Bed temperature at 55. You can print higher temps for first layer for better adhesion. 210 / 60 worked well for me.- YMMV, but I wasn't able to print on the textured sheet. The first layer would always fail. I had to use the smooth sheet for this material. I'm sure I could have used a glue stick or something else, but I don't have access to rubbing alcohol right now due to covid, so I couldn't clean the sheet after printing if I did that. Speaking of, that may also have affected my first layer adhesion, since I can't clean my sheet right now!
