Die Baby Die, the death of the old extruder

The wood material is quite different from PLA though. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it feels to me like the binder is more like a waxy material with wood particles suspended in it. Indeed there is no warp as the wood particles don't change shape at all. The wood material is very cool indeed, but it will never replace plastic and I don't think the non-warping property of it is something that can be translated to thermoplastics.

PLA is a huge improvement on ABS, so maybe some day they will come up with an even better plastic.

Cheers,

Troy.

    I confess, I've seen everyone's getting wood lately but I'm not sure what the excitement is.

    who wants to print with wood? I could understand metal, electronics and *real* plastics and carbon fiber..

    I really hope those upgrades will stop my ultimaker from jamming. Its just not fun having dozens of half finished products lying around. Otherwise, perfect machine!

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
