WARNING: Wood Filament will NOT print with a 0.4mm nozzle. Can look amazing with post processing.
Lets address the elephant in the room: this wood filament will clog your 0.4mm nozzle (default nozzle for most fdm printers) over and over again without fail after just a few layers no matter the temp or print speed. However that is quite normal for wood filament. I swapped to a 0.6mm nozzle and it printed smoothly with only a few blemishes and no clogs after printing over an entire spool.With small prints or mechanical parts this filament can be quite brittle, I wouldn't recommend printing anything small with this filament as it breaks very easily, even from just removing supports. Stick to a few walls with 40% infill and your prints should be very tough.Off the print bed this filament is quite nice as shown in the owl picture. However if you sand it down with 120 grit paper, it looks really convincing. Once sanded you can apply a few coats of woodstain to give it an extremely realistic wood feel as shown in my finished wizard staff print (printed in 8 pieces fitted together). Applying woodstain to a non sanded print will look kinda naff though im afraid.With a bit of post processing this filament can look amazing. I highly recommend this for any kind of wood prop if you are willing to put in the work to clean it up.All printed on an Ender 3, I found 190C and 55C bed with a 0.6mm nozzle worked best.Bonus points because it smells amazing while printing.

Great 👌🏻
I have had a right old time with this filament!I ordered this as I love rainbow things. So clearly, I want rainbow filament.I was originally using a black filament that wasn't by Sunlu. However, I was having a loooot of problems with stringing with the black one with my ender 3 pro. No matter which settings I used, I couldn't stop the stringing. I even imported a Cura profile that was supposed to eliminate it. No success. In fact, the stringing looked like part of the build, it was that solid and that bad.So, I changed to my rainbow Sunlu filament to see whether it was either an ender 3 pro problem or a filament problem. My stringing test prints went amazingly well (pictured). The first print was done at temp 205, the second at 200 and I went down to 195. No stringing at all. And of course, I was so happy. Well, then it was time to do a proper test - print something that wasn't so dinky. And I had a nightmare. It wouldn't stick to the bed, I was getting bubbles where it wasn't adhering, it was pulling away at itself. I lifted and lowered the bed, I changed settings, I cleaned the bed with iso alcohol etc. For over 6 hours I tried, but I couldn't get it to adhere. So I was about to give up and give it a bad review. But then I decided to get a new print bed.It arrived today and I fiddled with the bed, getting it to the right height, sorted the settings out etc. Then I just went for it and started a full print at temp 200 with the bed temp at 60. It wouldn't adhere properly. But I adjusted it to temp 205 with bed temp at 65 and it adhered well and the initial layer is perfect. The print is very good, too. Hardly any stringing.So overall, it's a good filament. A lot, LOT better than the black one I initially bought from a different company. I'll be back for more, and probably buy more in a few different colours!I'm using the 3D printer to create bits to mould, as I own a wax melt business and would like my own, personalised moulds without paying the earth just for one. My husband is using it for models to paint. This filament works perfect for both.

Nailing down the settings for this filament
Everything seemed good about this product apart from the adhesion, which caused me a lot of grief. One of the attached photos shows stringing, warping, the final piece ended up next to the printer with a lot of spaghetti around. That was the best print I had to date, having tried so many variables.Took a while of playing till I finally figured out some settings/changes that were required to get this to stick down properly for the 3D printer (see other photo). After that, the filament is great to use. So hopefully this may help someone...Ender 3 v2 with glass platform and BL Sensor, using Cura for slicing.Magigoo on glass platformThe printer is inside a semi enclosed space; no draughts, good maintenance of temperature0.6mm brass nozzle - I tried using a 0.6mm stainless steel nozzle and it didn't go well!I had checked the clearance of the nozzle to printer bed before printing (offset was -2.64, but this will be different for each printer)Checked the tension in the beltsCura settings were modified for Generic PLA and 0.6 mm nozzle:Layer height: 0.2mmLine width: 0.6mmTop/bottom thickness: 0.8mmPrinting temp: 190 oCPlate temp: 60 oCFlow: 100 %Print speed: 40 mm/sInitial layer speed: 20 mm/sZ hop speed: 5 mm/sFan speed: 100 %Initial fan speed: 0 %Regular fan speed at height: 0.4 mmBuild plate adhesion type: brimThis gave me really good prints with this filament (see other photo attached). I cannot report on water adsorption on standing. I pack the filament away each day after use and I've only had it about a week. With a 0.6 mm nozzle, I haven't experienced any clogging. I tried a stainless steel nozzle, but this made things worse - probably need to further adjust parameters.On the whole a good product, once you nail down the settings for your printer!

Really good quality with some awsome results
So I couldn't wait to try this marble as most my prints are in standard colours (white, black or gray) so I was fairly excited when I seen this marble.as soon as it arrived I decided to load it up straight away. I didn't change any settings at all from my last pla sliced as normal and hit print. I'm really happy with it considering no messing with settings it seems to print really well. Bed adhision was really good and achieved a really good bring quality. I'm likeing the marble effect it has some nice colour veriants in there.So for me this is a really nice filament and cand wait to twerk the settings and see if I can get even better results. I think I may be buying alot more of this lol.
