Thanks for watching and have fun printing!
It makes the wood look really look real, and I think it adds a real extralevel of realism!
Things are getting real
Wish there was a slicer setting to add computer generated wood grains to the prints. Great video. Thanks for including links and clear explanations
That would be awesome! Adding textures to a mesh is something that will be VERY popular once a company integrates it into a slicer!
Uh the printer does it, you lightly sand it or not at all. The print lines if you leave them in, when you stain over them the tiny nooks in the lines create a wood grain effect. They over sanded is the issue here, so it was "smooth" so no print lines for the stain to work with.
Good video - just a technical note: real wood stain acts as an optic filter - and it has no binder. That's why you have to seal it with a clear coat (UP, alkyde, PUR, acrylic etc.). "Depth" is a function of refractive index matching between the wood matrix (lignin & cellulose fibers) and the dried binder (the bigger the difference, the less "deep" the effect will be). If your binder also contains color molecules that act as a dye, you get highlights with a warm color hue, which we percieve as "more depth" ... if you overdo it, the results can become somewhat artificial. So, in order to create a "wood" effect, you are basically creating a (semi-transparent) layer on top of your opaque plastic part. If you want an even better effect, you could try epoxy stains in a PUR clearcoat over a lightly pigmented base layer...
Woah, that's a lot of info. I appreciate it!
So here you aren't expecting the stain to penetrate, but are instead relying on the cured poly? Asked another way, would it make any sense to try stain independent of the poly? With wood I'd skip the poly if I was going to use wax as the finish.
Such a cool explanation!
After sanding, try buffing the surface with cardboard. Aligns the fibers, and polishes the PLA.
This is so damn cool! And looks amazing! This is seriously cool for weapon props and more! Ordering some of that hatchbox pla from your link today!
You should try to skip sanding next time, the layer lines will act like woodgrains. I'm right know printing chess figures with wood filament and tested it on them. It will make your handle even woodier :)
Yep, can confirm, I made a full scale God of War Leviathan axe and the handle turned out gorgeous
@@Uncle_Bowlcut have a picture of it? tempted to print one.
I printed letters for my son's room spelling out his name on the wall out of wood filament. Stained, a few coats -- you should really wipe excess stain, or it won't dry evenly. Then finish it with acrylic poly, it does really look like wood, if you orientate your part so that the printer lines go a certain way you can get it to look like wood grain, that's why I wouldn't sand it too much or you'll lose the effect. Everyone thinks the letters on my son's wall were made in my workshop -- they were, just a different part of my workshop.
Thanks for the video. Making a Stormbreaker and using wood pla for the handle
That's awesome! Post a picture when you're done!
Saving this video for when I make my PC case ❤
Good luck!
You should add some woodgrain texture then do a darker wash, that would really make it pop!
Awesome! Just got wood filament for my new 3D printer, can't wait to try
Good luck, let me know how it goes!
wow that came out amazing! Thanks for the great video.
Finally I found a good video after Barnacules made that "3D Printed Wood" video where he said he would think about staining it lol. So I guess I got to get to work
Excellent painting job!
I've stained hatchbox wood pla, it worked well except for the areas that have wood filler in them. The stain over the woodfiller looks a different shade than the PLA, it'll take some time and different layers to get it to appear as a single piece.
Ah, interesting. That makes sense!
instead of wood filler use a 3d pen and the same filament you printed the part with to fill in gaps.
You could try running compoind and a buffer ti get a really high shine with polyurethane...I did it with guitar parts and it was gorgous! Gteat video!!
Good idea! I haven't experimented with buffing the parts, but it makes perfect sense!
Great video and awesome finish on that wood filament print. I have to get some of that Hatchbox now that I've seen what can be done
:-)
Yea I’m dealing with mine staying very sticky. Attempting mixing it with mineral spirits. Then will use alcohol dyes brushes in before clear coat
Maybe add a sealant?
damn dude! fantastic tutorial!
First real issue was too smooth of sanding, if you lightly sand it, the print lines cause tiny gaps and help create a grain effect
Great point.
I am finding some very mixed messages about whether or not Hatchbox Wood PLA needs a special nozzle or not. Does it really damage a normal nozzle on, say, a Prusa -style printer? Does it require a special nozzle size? I'd love to try this stuff, but I use my printer too much to have it broken by a novelty filament. Please let me know!
Perhaps you know by now, yes wood filament is mildly abrasive and will cause some wear to brass nozzles, but it does so less than other composite materials such as metal fills, phosphorescent (glow in the dark) filaments, carbon fibre fills. You can upgrade to a stainless steel nozzle or better, or you can buy replacement brass nozzles which are extremely cheap (pack of 10 0.4mm nozzles on gearbest for like $2 or £1.50 or so.
i loved that finish. I work a lot with wood, and printing it seems so mucha easier. hahaha
what type of wood is used to make this filament
Theres a few filiments available that use a variety of woods
Is there a lingering smell from the stain and wax? Is so, how strong is it and how would you get rid of it? Thanks you
einjhell ace I wouldn't thank so it doesn't really smell with wood and the material that it's made of absorbs it so. no?
Aren't you supposed to wipe it though?
Probably!
I'm trying to make my Wand from Hogwarts Legacy using some 3D print files that someone has made and I'm honestly so happy I found this video. Though I may try and rotate the print to make the print lines look like wood grain
Cool! Let me know how it goes!
Still waiting for 3d printed metal guns.
Thanks 🙏✌️👍
where are you located?
Isn’t there some type of acid bath to smooth parts? Can I get the name that?
Acetone vapor bath is probably what you are thinking about. It only works with abs plastic though.
first tought is a scattergun
Right?!
How strong is the wood filament after it prints?
I second this question
As strong as you make it honestly.
Dose it need to be wood filament??
And do you need to use wood polish
Dude you talk just like Steve Jobs! :)
Can u do one of the Yandere Simulator masks?
First
