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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Make sure to have a nozzle larger than .4MM

I love this filament a lot, the smell, the quality. It makes my prints look amazing. Being that its made with wood there are some issues however.The filament has a tendency to create spiderwebs when the print head crosses over areas that it isnt extruding at.This however isn't the worst problem that the filament could give you, and its easily solved with an x-acto knife #17 to smooth out anything that spills over.BE CAREFUL, this filament has real wood particles in it which means: BIGGER PRINT NOZZLE IS MANDATORY.Filaments with particles that give the prints certain qualities also will need some bigger nozzles to make sure that they don't get clogged up.If you plan on printing with a .4mm nozzle or below you better hope that your prints don't take much longer than a couple hours or that you have unprecedented luck.Do yourself a favor and buy some bigger nozzles along with this filament so you dont have to fix a clog and lose a print every 4 hours, some websites say that .5mm is enough but if you want to be safe go for .6 or .8, either way the larger opening will make it easier for the wood particles to extrude along with the PLA and clogs will be much more rare.Overall this filament is awesome and I absolutely love printing beautiful parts with it.

Pros
  • 1.75mm Filament Diameter (Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03mm)
Cons
  • Wood filament may not be as smooth or consistent as other materials, resulting in a rougher finish on prints
