Review on SUNLU Filament: Enhanced Dimensional Accuracy for 3D Printing by Jay Ngo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Difficult to stick to bed and color too light

I bought wood filament to use with my heavily modified Ender 3v2, with Labs BMG Triangle Cloning Extruder and Dragon Fly all metal hot end with X- Hardened steel nozzle on a Bowden system. I had a lot of trouble getting this to stick to my surface. I tried smooth PEI first, but no matter what I did I couldn't get it to stick. I've tried cleaning with alcohol, glue and even sanding. I then tried using a glue stick on the glass surface but it didn't work. I was finally able to print it on tape. I tried different temperatures and ended up using 200 degrees hotend and 55 degrees layer temp. Once I managed to get it stuck to the bed it memorized perfectly and I got a decent looking bench out of it. However, wood thread is lighter than others available and I would prefer darker threads as it doesn't look like wood like I was hoping.
