Entwined v2 Hemp-filled PLA
Now updated with a new, improved formulation (v2)!
3D-Fuel has reduced the particle size and increased the percentage of the hemp particles in their Entwined v2 filament. This will enable printing in a much wider variety of 3D printers. If you had a tricky time printing with Entwined in the past, the new formulation is much better. PLUS you can now anneal it after printing for increased heat resistance!
Entwined is 3D printing filament produced from USA-grown and processed industrial hemp fiber. Industrial hemp crops require no herbicides, no pesticides and grow more densely compared to corn. Entwined hemp filament uses no dyes, allowing it to maintain a true natural brown. It’s almost iridescent in its ability to showcase different shades and densities within the same printed object. There’s a large amount of visible bio-fill, something you don’t get with standard PLA. Entwined hemp filament can be printed on any machine capable of printing with PLA using standard PLA settings.
| Entwined Hemp-filled PLA | |
| Recommended Extrusion Temperature: | Entwined prints well at 180-210 C. In general, a good starting point is 10 degrees cooler than you typically print PLA. |
| Recommended Nozzle size: | 0.5mm or larger diameter nozzles. Smaller diameter nozzles can be used but have a higher likelihood of clogging. |
|
Recommended Retraction Settings: |
0.25mm per 0.1mm of nozzle diameter (ie. 1.25mm retraction when using a 0.5mm diameter nozzle) |
|
Recommended Print Surface: |
Hot - A heated bed is not necessary, though if you have one, set it to 45 C. Cold - Blue Painter's tape, glass with a coat of glue, Buildtak surfaces PLA bonds very firmly to acrylic. Printing directly on an acrylic surface is not recommended. |
|
Print Cooling fan? |
Print cooling fans are highly recommended with PLA-based filaments and usually results in a very noticeable improvement in the appearance of the print. Print cooling fans also greatly improve the ability to bridge gaps and print overhanging areas without support when using PLA-based filaments. |
