Faux Wood Grain using MMU! - eviltoast

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!

    Do you think printing without purge would make it look better? Or would it just blend into an medium brown

      I think better, if there was always a little bit of leftover filament the pattern will be more random I think. With more gradual gradients
