Squirrel

[Max]

New Rostock Max V2 user, so I'm learning... a lot.

I've done some ABS, PLA, and Taulman Bridge. Next I tired a squirrel for the kids with the ZenToolworks Wood ZTW 1.75 ABS Wood Filament. This stuff bridges the best of everything I've seen. Check out this guys tail.

I had to add supports because this guy's front paws actually come out, and dip down. But I expected supports for this tail.

The ridges also seems to be a lot softer with this filament. Which is nice if you plan to finish the item.

I read some posts about this stuff being brittle. It is. I broke it when I was first loading it. But with the top mounted spool on the Rostock Max V2 the filament path is very smooth. I don't expect any problems breaking it with this machine.

Max, how do you know the squirrel is a guy?

He's either a guy, or the bridging drooped.... LOL

The finish on this guy was awesome. There was barely any ridges from the layers. I've make everything out of this stuff. A good paint job and you would never know it was 3D printed. I'll get a super close up.
