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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good print quality, but doesn’t exactly imitate wood

This prints fine, actually cooler than other PLA. 200° C caused a lot of stringing, but 190° C was marginally better. I had no issues with bed adhesion or clogging with a 0.6mm E3D hardened nozzle. Layer adhesion can be an issue, so I recommend you don’t skimp on the perimeter count or the infill percentage.I deducted a star not because of material quality, but because there are so many 5 star reviews claiming it works like wood after some light sanding. It doesn’t. It’s composite material, just like composite decking, so no matter how much you sand, you’re always going to have some plastic over top of some percentage of the surface area. I sanded the surface with 220 and used a Dremel to get the areas I couldn’t reach, but at the end I still had to wipe it off and then wash the print in the sink to get the extra off.
