I made a magsafe mount in black for my Kia and I didn’t like the layer lines on the curved parts, but it gave me the idea to try using wood

I have a 3D Chameleon MMU so I added color changes randomly throughout between two shades of brown. One is wood, one is PLA.

It honestly came out way better than I even expected!

If anyone wants the STL I can provide it!

I’d love a 3D chameleon for my printer, but their shipping rate (I live in EU) is absolutely insane and unreasonable since they don’t even handle import and taxes for that price.

It looks like there are going to be more options coming out from established manufacturers like creality

Ah, I was trying to understand what MMU was. Then I realized off of those ridges that this was a 3D printed model. I was looking at the “marbling” and imaging it was some sort of putty or something akin to sculpey. It looks both groovy and comfy and you did a great job =)

Yeah, you guys always amaze me. On account of being able to model things spatially in CAD-esq software. It’s a skill I never picked up on, and one that I really enjoy seeing in practice =)

Reminds me! I took a video of the timeline playthrough for the design process.

Thanks btw! It took me a few years to get efficient with CAD being self taught. Still learning

That’s brilliant. What nozzle diameter and layer height did you use?

Thank you! Standard 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layers

One of those two filaments is wood fill right? Do you ever get clogs with the 0.4 nozzle?

Absolutely, I was going to use a lighter shade of wood it kept clogging on me. Do I switched to the light brown pla. I think moisture is a big component in that too
