Hey Guys, I just got myself a roll of Hatchbox Woodfill PLA.

For those of you with a Prusa mk2, what settings you slice for that filament?

Thank you very much.

Woofill should be nearly identical to regular PLA, but I would recommend printing in 30mm/s speeds. Also, I recommend buying another nozzle after you print woodfill. Woodfill tends to clog nozzles.

I printed the Hairly Lion with it at standard Prusa PLA settings. I would agree with @Zach_Moore about the nozzle, I’m using a hardened steel one.

I used a 0.5mm nozzle, the 0.4 clogged. But the clog was easy to clean, so I don’t know why you need a special nozzle, just one bigger than the bits of wood.

@Geoffrey_Forest The particles are abrasive like with any filled filament

@Adam_Steinmark but are the particles harder than the brass nozzle?

@Geoffrey_Forest no brass is ~20x harder but apparently it still accelerates wear of the nozzle. I can’t personally confirm this because I’ve been using the hardened steel nozzle for a while but user testimonials on the Amazon page for the Hatchbox wood filament mention wear of the nozzle. Always better to be safe rather than sorry.
