I made a magsafe mount in black for my Kia and I didn’t like the layer lines on the curved parts, but it gave me the idea to try using wood

I have a 3D Chameleon MMU so I added color changes randomly throughout between two shades of brown. One is wood, one is PLA.

It honestly came out way better than I even expected!

If anyone wants the STL I can provide it!

    That’s brilliant. What nozzle diameter and layer height did you use?

      Thank you! Standard 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layers

        One of those two filaments is wood fill right? Do you ever get clogs with the 0.4 nozzle?

          Absolutely, I was going to use a lighter shade of wood it kept clogging on me. Do I switched to the light brown pla. I think moisture is a big component in that too

            You might try a 0.6mm nozzle, I know some manufacturers recommend >0.4 for filaments with filling in them.Very cool project though, you’re giving me some ideas.

              Yeah I might try that next time. I have .8 and 1.0 too, but too lazy to keep swapping 😂

                I feel it. Those quick-swap nozzles are pretty appealing. Every time I swap a nozzle on the bambu I literally swap the entire hotend and unplug 3 delicate connectors. I’m worried they’ll break after a couple dozen swaps.

                  I couldnt do it! I bought a pack of volcano nozzles for dirt cheap in all sizes, volcano is forever!
