walnut

[Edit: I am updating this review after receiving some stellar support from AMOLEN who was very interested in knowing more about the problem, this level of customer support is worth mentioning. ] I want to love this filament. It's pretty neat. It perfectly matched some wood furniture in my home that I was printing some parts to hide various wires for plant lights so everything wouldn't look ugly. And it was great in terms of matching the color and having a wood-like texture. My initial print came out pretty well. I did unfortunately have a difficult time using this in a filament management system (CFS, AMS, or similar). More than once when the system tried to reload the filament, it caused the filament to break off in the extruder. My hypothesis is that the actual wood fibers cause this filament to have a rougher texture that these systems are not used to. However when I switched to just using the spool holder, everything was gravy. No issues. I did a 14 hour Groot planter that came out fantastic. No bobbing or stringing or anything like that. And the results look much cooler than if I was just using brown filament. I will definitely order more of this filament when I'm looking to create unique prints, but I did want to mention at the very least to CFS users that you may encounter minor issues and the fix that worked for me was to bypass the CFS and just feed this filament directly in.

5 stars — Beautiful filament with a few things you should know This Tiger Wood filament looks fantastic once it’s dialed in. The color variation and grain effect are some of the best I’ve seen in a wood PLA. AMOLEN did a great job with the tone and consistency. A couple of pointers for anyone new to this filament: • This is a low‑temperature wood PLA. AMOLEN’s listed max of 205°C is correct. • It runs best at 200–205°C — going hotter will cause the binder to scorch. • Use a 0.6 mm nozzle. A 0.4 mm will clog because the wood particles are larger than other AMOLEN woods. • Keep speeds around 35–40 mm/s for the cleanest flow. • Let the hotend cool fully between swaps and purge with standard PLA afterward. Ask me how I know? I burned out a .4 nozzle and had to replace it after MANY clogs and failed prints. Once dialed in? Golden and smooth. I printed on the Bambu X1 Carbon with both a .4 and .6 hardened hot ends. The pic shows the successful and the failed prints for reference. Once you follow those guidelines, the filament prints beautifully and produces a really premium wood finish. Just sharing these notes to help the next person get great results right away.

I bought rainbow rock for printing some fall themed items. This filament prints extremely well and the colors are beautiful together. I couldn't expect how pretty my prints are when using this material. I would definitely buy it again!!!!

Seems to print well, especially considering "marble" filament usually likes to clog. Looks good. Only a little stringing at the end of the print. The spool's kind of cheap, though, and the sides flex easily, trapping filament. That makes this product less than ideal for a Bambu Lab printer with AMS: the spool tends to trap the filament against the edge, causing feed errors. If you don't use the AMS, or if you respool, it's a decent speckled stone-ish PLA.

I have an Ender 3 v2 with a sprite head. I printed at a lower temp then I typically print as to not "burn" and it was just silky and beautiful. I printed the whole spool in a matter of days because I was so in love with it (our house has a LOT of Groot now) and it never clogged. One vase I did and sanded showed "rings" which just added to the beauty of this product. I am giving it a 5 because I really am loving it and even purchased more already, but it does have some downsides that should be mentioned they just aren't enough for me to drop the stars because the prints are so gorgeous with little to no post work. Pictured vase has had no post work and is straight off the printer. Cons: It has more of a smell then other filaments while it is printing. I am very sensitive to smell and had to print with window open overnight. Again, I am VERY sensitive to smell, so this probably won't affect most people but worth a mention. It marks up easy like a soft wood and is hard to keep the beauty of the matte finish with finishing agents. You lose something. I have tried resin (super glossy) and a wood wax which seemed the best choice. I was tempted to try an oil but worry it would break down the PLA as oil and PLA don't typically play nice together. I tried Modge Podge and Gesso as well...both showed lines and really didn't leave it as protected as I would have liked. So still exploring finishing options. Manufacturer didn't have any guidance on their site to help with this. As it marks up so easily it really needs something to protect it, or your beautiful print won't last. The heart is my first test with the best results. Left wood wax, right resin. I need to see if more layers of wax will prevent marking up. Finally, color. Mine came out not like a deep rose-colored rosewood but a deep chocolate color. It's still beautiful, but I would have to say it is really dark.

This is some great filament! The colors are absolutely gorgeous! No problems printing with it, printed smooth, will definitely buy more in the future!

Some of the worst wood PLA I have printed with (despite the premium price tag). I purchased the tigerwood PLA because I though the color gradient would make it more wood-like than other filament. Unfortunately, this spool prints so poorly I wasn't able to assess that aspect of the print. The bed and layer adhesion are horrible, and it clogs easily on both .4 and .4mm nozzles. The filament was wet and brittle on receipt and remained brittle after drying. After spending hours and a 5th of the roll trying to tune my profile to print it better, I was still struggling with uneven extrusion. After breaking out a micrometer, it turns out my issues were because the filament is not dimensionaly accurate at all. While the listing boasts ＋/－0.02mm accuracy, in just 1 meter of filament, I got measurements ranging from 1.72mm up to 1.88... which is only 0.16mm and explains the uneven extrusion! While I applaud Amolen for being one of the only bicolor wood filament manufacturers out there, between the poor QA, brittleness, and lac of dimensional accuracy, I can't recommend this to anyone. UPDATE: Amolen reached out and offered me a refund, and then worked to get the batch number. So credit where credit is due since they seem to be concerned about fixing this from a QA standpoint. Given the unique look of the multi-colored wood, I would be willing to give it another try down the road and hope this was just a one-off QA failure.

This is one of my favorite PLA products. While using PLA only accounts for about 10% of my daily operations, I've found this particular filament to be highly reliable - albeit, you need to follow their print settings exactly and then make only minor tweaks based on your individual printer performance. I use H2D printers and they're relatively "smart" compared to others. This mean that my tweaks were 5 degrees in temp settings and less than 20mm/sec in speed settings. A quick Google search for print settings is a solid choice for quick reference on your first try. As far as looks go, this one is awesome if you're looking for a rustic or aged look. It prints cleanly without a lot of artifacts in layer lines. I'd suggest it for fossil, rock, and castle designs. But I've also used it for a top plate on a mandolin with great success.

La qualité de ce filament est impressionnante l'effet marbre est très réussi, à ma grande surprise il est très simple à imprimer ne bouche pas la buse (j'imprime à 50 mm/s à 210°C et mon plateau à 60°C avec un tête à 0.4 mm et une hauteur de couche à 0.2 mm) Je le conseil fortement

Bon filament bois, s'imprime facilement : 200-205°C et plateau à 50°C. Pas de bouchage avec une buse 0.4mm. Rendu au top ;) je recommande ce produit ;)

Sehr gutes Filament mit schöner Marmor Optik. Läßt sich sehr gut drucken auf meinem JGAURORA A5s. Die Filament ist bis jetzt sehr gut von der Rolle abgespult worden, keine Probleme. Die Verpackung war auch sehr gut. Die Rolle war mit einem Päckchen Trockengranulat Vakuum verpackt und in einem passendem Karton + Versandkarton geliefert worden. Ich drucke das Filament mit 210°C an der Düse und 60°C am Bett. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

me gusta Su artesanía y las partículas de madera y adhesion y adherencia en la placa de impresion buena impresión sin obstruirse

El terminado es muy bueno cuando funciona pero no es confiable, constantemente se tapa y las temperaturas mostradas por la marca no son funcionales, imposible sacar impresiones, las que pudisron salir se hicieron a 15 mm/seg a una temp 220 C y cama de 50 grados, aún asi constante mente se taparon
