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!

          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!
